As a program, Chandler Basketball, is committed to developing upstanding young men both on and off the court. We emphasize the idea of being a student before an athlete, and because of this, we have developed a set of core values that we truly believe in as a program. The CHS Basketball Core Values are:

Academics

Academics take precedence over athletics. Our Athletes are expected to be scholars and must achieve academic success.

Integrity

Do what is right because it is the right thing to do.

Communication

Communication with teammates and coaches is honest, safe, and respectful. Successful Teams talk effectively on and off the court!

Passion

Don’t be lukewarm, commit to excellence with positive energy and relentless persistence.

Accountability

Take responsibility for your own actions and think about how it affects you, the team, and your family.

Trust

Believe in the integrity and reliability of your teammates, coaches, and program.

Humility

Be willing to not think too highly of yourself and examine things you can work on. Those who humble themselves will be exalted.

Unity

Team First. Sacrifice for each other. Brotherhood. Family.

Selflessness

Lead by giving to others first. Make teammates better!

Thankfulness

An attitude of gratitude, grow both in victory and defeat.

We truly believe in the values above, and we stress this set of values on a daily basis. Being a member of this program is more than about winning basketball games, it's about developing young men that are prepared to meet the challenges of the world in whatever path they take.
