El Toro Basketball Philosophy

The El Toro High School Boys’ Basketball Program philosophy is to develop good young men of high character while incorporating skills on and off the basketball court. The basketball program’s motto is “Class Act”. Each player is expected to represent their team, the high school, and our community in a “class act” manner while playing the game, as well as conduct themselves in a respectful manner away from the court. Each player will become a better basketball player and a better person as a result of the principles taught within the program with the support of his teammates, family members, and school community.
