Coaching Philosophies

Teaching skill sets is most important.  APWL helps coaches bring their assets to a team.  It's never about the star player, but allowing every player to become a star.

Practice Philosophy

​We were always told that "practice makes perfect", APWL believes that "perfect practice makes perfect". Our program helps to establish a strong core of proper basic skills this means repetition and correction.

Game Philosophy

If your focus is winning at all cost, this might not be for you.   We learn by losing and winning (kids are smart enought to keep score) as long as we do our best.   It's is always about the team, not the best player(s).
