Girl Dad. 🏀 Coach

[Jordan Castaneda @CoachCastt]

My daughter had her first day of 🏀 today. It’s co-ed, we showed up and she’s the only girl, thought it would turn her off to playing, but she was locked in and after our practice asked to go to the park to practice more. Damn near shed a tear lol

If you a middle schooler posting HS commitment graphics you better be playing Varsity day 1 lol

One of the best there is!

@JWtheCoach I like these! Appreciate it coach.

[Jordan Castaneda @CoachCastt]

Question for all my coaches! What’s the best offense to implement with 6-10 year olds to get them to understand how to play the game! (Off ball movement, using screens, ball movement, cutting, etc..) leaning towards the Flex but curious to see any other suggestions !

[Jordan Castaneda @CoachCastt]

@andrestuntin If you’re able to get a scholarship to any level (including JUCO) from post grad I’d agree that’s a success. California Jucos don’t offer scholarships though. So essentially nobody is playing for free out here

[Jordan Castaneda @CoachCastt]

Paying for a post grad just to go JUCO afterwards is insane lol

[Jordan Castaneda @CoachCastt]

@TroyBlack_ Sometimes we gotta call a spade a spade lol. For most kids, PAYING for a postgrad year is a stupid move

[Jordan Castaneda @CoachCastt]

@TroyBlack_ Not every path is a good path lol. If you pay to go to a HS specifically for sports, and then pay for a post grad and end up going JUCO after that. I’d say you wasted a whole lot of money and have a false sense of reality of what kind of player you are.

[Jordan Castaneda @CoachCastt]

@TroyBlack_ Can do that without paying for a post grad though

[Coach Jay @JaySpann24]

@CoachCastt Solid JUCOs are better of those campuless pop up shop prep schools

[Jordan Castaneda @CoachCastt]

Stupid decisions are stupid decisions brother. More so an indication of how stupid parents are. There the ones paying for it most of the time lol

[James Moses @jamesmoses2k]

No hate here and a little different but…

I went

D2 JUCO
Gap Year
D1 JUCO
D1

Every athlete’s path will look different based on what they want.

I told a D3 I wasn’t interested and got

“Goodluck finding a D1”

Adults making fun of kids decisions is SAD.

You’re the adult.

[Jordan Castaneda @CoachCastt]

@RodMacLean8 Seen some kids even double up the post grad years 😂

[Jordan Castaneda @CoachCastt]

@JaySpann24 😂 delaying the inevitable to protect their ego

[Jordan Castaneda @CoachCastt]

@_SportsDiva35_ @HoustonTopgunss Can do that without paying for a post grad though 🤷🏻‍♂️ if it’s free that’s a different story

[Jordan Castaneda @CoachCastt]

@DevanRush2 Not if you do your research and pick the right juco. 99% of post grads are money grabs that overpromise and under deliver

[Rod MacLean @RodMacLean8]

@CoachCastt Should have stopped at.. paying for a post grad….

[Coach Jay @JaySpann24]

I said this and everyone got mad at me lol

[Jordan Castaneda @CoachCastt]

Anyone with kids that enjoy Chuck E. Cheese, buy the Gold Pass. Value makes you feel like you gettin away with robbery lol
