The Goshen Community Schools offer opportunities in basketball starting in the sixth grade, and Coach Bechtel provides a summer program for grades two through nine. Pride in the program begins with the individual participant. The basketball player at Goshen High School is expected to be a gentleman and express a desire to do the best he is capable of doing in all of his activities. The participant should learn to compete, work, sacrifice, exercise discipline, train faithfully, and be metnally and physically tough. It is as serious as life.
Basketball is a way of life.
Most of all, it should be worthwhile, challenging, and enjoyable. Most of the players participate in a full year program. Players may participate in other sports. For students that are not involved in a fall sport, there is a fall conditioning program available that stresses discipline, flexibility, quickness, endurance, and intensity. We have had players involved in football, cross country, and tennis.
