Jared Patus, Hamilton District Christian High
Boys Basketball Coach
Jared has coached both boys and girls at the high school level for 9 seasons and counting. He has also been involved with instructing beginning players in various community settings.
Beyond the skills and understanding of basketball are many valuable lessons that transfer into everyday life. The most valuable to me have been teamwork, commitment and communication.” Jared Patus
Jared played high school basketball for a CWOSSA championship team and at the rep level as well. His fondest memories of his playing days are the relationships and comradery that were built with teammates and coaches.
When I reflect back to my beginning experiences with basketball I recall a strong focus on fundamentals. This is what I hope to instill in campers. Just like a successful jump needs a strong base, so to a developing player.”
Facilities
The Hamilton District Christian High gymnasium features two basketball courts with a wood playing surface. The facility is the competitive venue for Knights high school basketball and volleyball. In addition, HDCH offers campers a 20-acre campus for outdoor activities.
