Player Development Coach: Joel Sierra
Basketball is a team sport. The name defines the game. Putting a ball into a basket. If we can maximize our ability to score the ball efficiently, we give ourselves a good chance of winning each game. We believe in teaching a system that will highlight the strengths of the team and give a clear understanding of what is expected while leaving room for creativity in the process. We are not married to one way of playing. As a staff, we will compliment the players with a system that works for them. We strive to TEACH players by focusing on increasing their capacity to think the game and improve decision making. We believe in ball and player movement to create the most efficient shots.
Defensively, we will look to take away the opponents strengths, forcing them to play a way they are not used to. We do not want the opponent to shoot high percentage shots and we will limit this by preventing lanes to the baskets and closing out on shooters to limit 3pt FGs. Defense is a team effort and all players on defense must be in sync and anticipate the developing play to react ahead of time.

Spiritual Life
Timothy Christian School Is dedicated to developing the students in their relationships with Christ through setting a biblical foundation that may guide them in everyday decisions and interactions. We partner with families to best discipline and train students up to mature them and draw them closer to who God has called them to be.
TCS has a 5% non-believer student body allowance for those who identify with other religions but are not actively practicing that faith.
Students have a bible curriculum and are involved in different ministries in the community. These opportunities are relative to each class and include:
Cedar Oaks Nursing Home
New York City Relief
serving poor areas in NYC by distributing food and clothing and sharing the gospel
Habitat for Humanity
Assist the organization in building a home for veterans

Prospective Student Athletes
We are looking to recruit student athletes who are great examples of body, mind and spirit. Exemplary character/ability on the court, in the classroom and in the community. If someone is still developing in one of these areas, their potential and teachability will be what is assessed. We ultimately want to build student athletes up and help them in their development on and off the court. If parents/student athletes are willing to partner to maximize their growth in these three areas, we believe TCS is the right place to be.
