When the game comes down to the last 2 minutes and we're behind by 5, that's the time to play Hawk Ball.

1. Hawk Ball means diving for every loose ball; driving down the lane when you know you’re going to get creamed; daring your opponent to try and stop you from getting to the basket!

2. Hawk Ball means helping your teammate up when she’s on the ground. It means helping your opponent up when she’s on the ground; even if you put her there! That’s Hawk Ball!

3. Hawk Ball means playing tough defense even if your offense isn't on!  Defense wins games and nothing, nothing, nothing inspires your teammates, fans & coaches more than a tough, aggressive defensive play!

4. Hawk Ball means being prepared for each game. Keeping yourself in shape is your top priority!  When you're not in shape you're letting your team down!  Don't wait for basketball to get you in shape; get in shape for basketball!

5. Hawk Ball means keeping your head in the game, even if you’re not in the game! You stay in the game with your head; you win with heart!  That's Hawk Ball!

6. Hawk Ball means leaving it all on the court!  Don't ever walk off a basketball court wishing you had played harder!  Every minute you play is the last minute of the game!  That’s Hawk Ball!

7. Hawk Ball means losing with dignity!  Keep your heads held high and remember how lousy it feels to lose.  We’re not judged by wins and losses; we’re judged by character, dignity and class. When you’re wearing our uniform, you’re representing all of us. Oh, and remember……. it’s just a game!

8. Hawk Ball means winning with dignity!  Respect your opponent and respect the game of basketball.  We've all been on the back side of a blowout!

9. There is no I in team!

10. Hawk Ball is…………….. Basketball with Attitude!
