We just finished up our last camp of the summer. Grades 3-8 joined us for a great week of FUN-damentals and competition! Last year Covid prevented us from having these camps, and we couldn't have been happier to get back in the gym with our future Titans. Alumni Jared Mattley and Isaac Simpson, along with our current Titan players made this a great experience. We can't thank them enough! The aim of the camp was to teach and develop fundamental basketball skills, team play and

Thank you for another great week of FUN-damentals and competition! We couldn't have done it without you or the help of our current Titan players and coaches. Titan alum Isaac Simpson, who will be joining the Peru State basketball team this fall, was also on hand to inspire and encourage. The aim of the camp was to teach and develop fundamental basketball skills, team play and motivation. Each day highlighted a specific point of emphasis: Monday - ACE Factor: Attitude - Concen

Championship Thursday marked the last day of 2017 South Titan Basketball Camp. We had another great week! This time around we had elementary school (grades 3-5) in the afternoon and high school (grades 9-12) continued to grind in the mornings. Several Titan players and coaches worked hard to make the afternoon session a great basketball experience. Joining our current players were Titan alumni Aaron Rothermund (Sioux Falls) and Isaac Simpson (UNO), along with Ryker Fyfe (Nebr

The late, great Coach Don Meyer was famous for what he called the "Cycle of the Game". In basketball, players must convert from offense to defense (and defense to offense) at almost any moment. This "Cycle of the Game" requires players to be fundamentally sound, well conditioned and highly skilled. Because the game is so fast paced and converts so quickly, it also requires extraordinary concentration. To fully grasp this concept we have explained in detail the "Cycle of the G

Our team mission is to love others as we love ourselves, to serve with an attitude of gratitude, and to care deeply about being the best we can be. In doing so we have to be very intentional about those pillars aforementioned. This morning in our team meeting we shared with the squad this very powerful Coach Buzz Williams video. I know it spoke to my heart. I would encourage you to watch it and share it with your team too if you coach, or your family if you parent. Cultivatin

The 2015-16 South Titan Basketball season gets underway Thursday, December 3, at 7:15pm, in a home opener against the Fremont Tigers. The Titans return five lettermen, all of which are seniors: Zach Bussard, Andrew DiGiacomo, Nathan Jatczak, James Nekola Jr. and Quintin Van Ackeren. We really like this team. They all work together and are highly skilled. They should be a fun team to watch. They are certainly fun to coach. Obviously losing Zach Bussard for 6-8 weeks is a huge

Dear South Titan Basketball Alum, It looks like we need to make some revisions if this Alumni Jam is going to happen. We are still hoping many of you will be back in the Omaha area over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 28 at 9am. Alumni Jam! ***REVISED*** Guidelines: Eligibility requires ALL participants to have played at least 1 basketball season (Freshmen, Reserve, JV or Varsity) at Papillion-LaVista South High School. No cost! Ho

For the past six weeks a good percentage of our players have been conditioning for the upcoming season. Under the instruction of Strength Coach Kurt Pohlmann we grinded for 12 sessions of "Up!". Coach does a fantastic job and we can't thank him enough for his expertise! From the get-go we emphasized the following: Never get out-hustled or out-muscled. Fatigue makes cowards of us all. Grit is the key to our success. In addition to thanking Coach Pohlmann, we want to also recog

Hard to believe, but we only have one week of Up! left. Coach Pohlmann has done another fantastic job pushing this team to new heights. Do we still have a long way to go? Certainly. But every now and then you have to stop, reflect and note how far you have come. Many of you have made significant improvements and it will pay off down the road. We also have eight of you who have not missed a single Up! session. Perfect attendance does not guarantee you anything, just like stand

We just completed our fourth week of Up! It's been a learning experience for all of the players. Coach Pohlmann shared with the squad tonight that a Titan must not be out-hustled or out-muscled! With that said I want to add my two cents. Passion is at the heart of reaching these performance goals: Passion provides the motivation and drive to stay the course when things are not going well. Everyone wants to finish first, but it is the person who understands how to compete, has

Believe it or not, we are at the halfway point of Up! 12 of our players have perfect 6/6 attendance. 3 more weeks to go. We often remind our players success equals effort over time. Almost anyone can show up once or twice and grind it out, but do you have staying power? Would your teammates describe you as "gritty"? The kind of teammate who is passionate and perseveres through it all? I absolutely love what Martin Luther King said, “The measure of a man is not where he stands

Week #2 is in the books. Unfortunately, we've already lost a few participants. But like I said last week, "Up! conditioning is not easy, but for those that stay the course and complete the 6 week program it will be worth it. Does this guarantee them a spot on the team? No, but they will become stronger physically and tougher mentally. Two important traits of a Titan!" Hopefully we will pick up a tennis player or two. We are very fortunate to have Coach Kurt Pohlmann as our st
