Welcome back Tiger Fans.  My name is Kevin Michaels and I am in my second year as the girls varsity basketball coach at Joliet West.  I have been in the program for 6 years now and I am very excited to take over.  We have a young and energetic coaching staff that will help motivate our girls to reach their full potential both on the court and in the classroom.

Our goals as a program are to make sure each player has a positive season and to have fun.  We will emphasize fundamentals and instill good work habits.  We are going to be a young team still and it is important to teach our girls how to play the game correctly.  Along with their basketball skills, our girls will learn sportsmanship and life skills.  Our girls will learn how to stick together, overcome adversity, and to never give up.  Hopefully, skills that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.  As long as we cover our goals, our wins will follow. 

Parents, we encourage you to come out and support your daughter during action.  We want to pack our house every home game.  We also encourage you to get involved in your daughter's grades.  You are their greatest influence in the classroom.  If any of our girls are struggling with their grades during season, we will have study groups and set up tutor sessions.  Grades come first and we do not want any of our students falling behind academically. Grades first, then basketball.

We look forward to an exciting year of basketball.  Our program will represent the community with pride.  We have big things in store this year, don't miss it.  GO TIGERS.
