Why Play at Monroe?
Playing basketball at Monroe offers a wide variety of advantages over other options in the Fairbanks Community. First and foremost, the school offers unquestionably the best education you will find, and education must come first. While we want to work with your daughter on the basketball court and help her to reach her basketball potential, this is never our number one goal. Our primary goal is to develop your daughter so she will ultimately become the best Wife, Mother, Employee or Employer, she can possibly be. We simply use basketball as the vehicle to teach the life skills necessary to accomplish this task.
One of the key reasons to choose Monroe is the availability of our facility and the willingness of our coaching staff to make it available. No gym is open more than ours. In the summer, a player can come in each day, sign in, get a ball and play on their own from 9am till 4pm. There is no charge and they do not need a parent with them. In early August, through the start of the basketball season, the gym will be open for open gym no less than three days a week and I will make sure the gym is open at 6am for your daughter to come in and develop her skills at least a couple times a week.
At Monroe, your daughter will be looked after and her success and well-being will be paramount. I will see your daughter daily. If she is not taking care of business in the classroom, I will hear about it and she will be in my office discussing how we can create a plan for academic success. If your daughter is disrespectful in any class, I will hear about it and we will discuss it. High school students tend to need guidance and I will be here every step of the way to work with you to ensure your daughter reaches her full potential.
The basketball tradition at Monroe is the best in town, perhaps all of Alaska. We boast an Alumni Club ensuring we have what we need to be successful. Your daughter will have the best shooting machine in town at her disposal, paid for by alumni. Your daughter will get brand new practice gear each year and the best uniforms, all paid for by Alumni. There is no place better to be a good basketball player and be the best team, than Monroe.
Finally, our coaching staff is second to none. Assistant coaches, Sarah Swartz and Suzan Bast have provided strong female leadership and have been exceptional role models for our young ladies. Both of these coaches are exceptional teachers of the game and committed to our girls and helping them reach their potential.
If you want to see your daughter reach her potential as a young lady, Monroe is clearly the best option.
