Sinclair Community College Men's Basketball

Price emphasizes a well-rounded experience for his Student/Athletes that encompasses the many different phases of being a collegiate Student/Athlete. Along with working hard in the class room and on the court, the Men's Basketball Team has been actively involved with a number of community service projects to complete the three C's (Classroom, Community Service & Competition). Several community service projects include: Visits to the Dayton VA Hospital, Serving Thanksgiving Dinner at the Dayton Boy's & Girls Club, serving as youth coaches for the Oakwood Youth Basketball Organization and working hand in hand with top young professionals as they join forces with Generation Dayton to help clean up downtown Dayton. Another program Coach Price has put into place during his tenure at Sinclair, the PEP-Player Enhancement Program. In addition to speakers and service learning projects, the PEP offers additional study tables and tutors along with monthly guest speakers from all aspects of life. The last component of the PEP is the 3 year rotation of venues that the team visits during the season. Every three years the team will play the University of North Carolina JV team in Chapel Hill, followed by every three years a game against the University of Pennsylvania JV team played at the famed Palestra with visits to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall and finally every three years the team will play in DC followed by tours of the White House, Capitol, Arlington and the Supreme Court. This program was designed to aid in the development of Sinclair's young student-athletes on many different levels throughout their Sinclair career.
