Basketball
Basketball is a winter sport that runs from November through the start of March. As part of the basketball program, there are open-gym practice sessions. Regular season practices are held throughout the week. The first 30 minutes of each practice is devoted to skills training, and the remainder of practice is team practice.
ECS is excited to host basketball practices and games in our newly renovated gym! All athletes are welcome! No prior experience is needed.

About the Coaches
Boys Basketball Coach: Coach Joe Philogene holds a B.S. in Sports Management from American Military University and a M.B.A. from the University of Maryland.
He comes to ECS with a record of excellence in training student-athletes and helping them garner athletic scholarships in divisions 1, 2, and 3. Including his season at Middleburg Academy, his fall league, tournaments, and exhibitions, he brings a 78% winning record to Evergreen Christian School. “Basketball has done so much for me professionally, that I want to share how it has helped. I am excited to teach at ECS to implement Christian values while coaching.”
Deuteronomy 31:6 - "Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

Girls Basketball Coach: Coach James Daniel III was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, and has been coaching for many years and at many different levels including: 1) Head Girls Basketball Coach at Timberlake Christian in Forest, VA where he coached the team to the semi-final game and placed third in VACA State Tournament, and ended the season 9-2. His experience also includes coaching for The Fulton School in St. Albans, MO, the Holy Cross Regional Catholic School in Lynchburg, VA, and coaching the elite level of high school basketball athletes at Bishop O’Connell High School.
Coach James believes in teaching: “I believe students should be taught the game of basketball rather than be coached. Being a student being taught in the classroom helps a student achieve academic excellence. The same goes for the game of basketball. An athlete should be taught the game of basketball to help them each achieve excellence on and off the court”.
