The purpose of the MBA is to grow the game of basketball for the boys in the Millard West school district. Coaches will help develop each player’s character with lessons of hard work, sportsmanship, integrity, and teamwork.
The MBA will work closely with the Millard West High School basketball staff in developing practices and strategies that will help prepare the players for high school basketball at Millard West.
