The King Philip Boys Basketball program consists of multiple recreation and CYO programs, the King Philip Travel Basketball Program and the King Philip High School Boys Basketball program. Thank you for looking into joining our basketball family and we look forward to helping you to reach your goals.

The King Philip Youth Basketball, CYO, and Recreation programs are non-profit organizations that are run by dedicated volunteers. These volunteers are creating a positive environment for the young athletes of King Philip to enjoy the game of basketball while teaching them the fundamental skill sets needed to succeed at every level of the game.

The King Philip Middle School Travel Basketball Program participates in the Metrowest Youth League. Players who participate in the travel program can anticipate practicing two days per week while playing one game per week.

The King Philip High School Boys’ Freshman Basketball is an intricate part of the development of our student athletes. At the freshman level our coaching staff focuses on a few major areas for us to work on, they include (but are not limited to):

1) Basketball fundamental skills are taught
2) Each athlete is taught how to compete at the high school level
3) The idea of sportsmanship is brought to the forefront of each student athlete
4) Each Student Athlete is taught how to be an active member of a team

Each freshman will be given the opportunity to tryout for the Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Freshman Team during the first few days of tryouts. The first day of tryouts will be held on the Monday after Thanksgiving starting in the high school gym. The coaching staff philosophy is that if any freshman student athlete is looking to be an active working member of our program we will make every attempt to have a place for them to play in our program. The freshman team will practice or have games 5 days per week Monday through Friday with an occasional mandatory practice on weekends. We look forward to having you join our basketball family and please let any of our coaches know if you need anything.

When you think of building a strong program we look no further than the King Philip High School Boys’ Varsity Basketball Team. The Varsity team is looking to provide the student athlete the channel to represent their school, their community, and themselves in interscholastic athletics.  Our varsity team is built off of a family environment that welcomes any member of our program into all situations. Our goal is to put a team out on the floor that meets our high standards that we have set for our program. These include, yet are not limited to, the following characteristics:

1) Displays good sportsmanship at all times
2) Willingness to work together in the common goal of the team
3) Hard working team dedicated to defense and team play
4) Student athletes that are dedicated to academics, their teammates, themselves, and their community
5) Never quitting
6) Always giving your best in every competition and practice
