About Barracuda Athletics
Our Vision
Barracuda Athletics, Mission Statement
Barracuda Basketball's mission is to significantly enhance each player's skill level throughout the season. Our comprehensive approach focuses on both physical and mental aspects of the game, working with individual players to establish attainable goals that improve their abilities, confidence, and competitive spirit. The ultimate objective is to elevate each player's capacity to excel against high-level competition, both in basketball and in life. As a travel team organization, we recognize the substantial commitment required from all participants. Our program emphasizes the importance of family, faith, education, and holistic player development across all levels. We prioritize strong familial bonds, including those within the extended Barracuda Basketball community, as the foundation of our mission. We strive to foster a cohesive environment where all stakeholders work towards common goals throughout the season. Our organization is committed to providing support and assistance to our members, embodying the principle of mutual aid that characterizes strong communities. Academic excellence is a core value of our program. We expect and regularly monitor good academic performance from our players. This emphasis on scholastic achievement prepares our athletes for the rigorous academic standards they will encounter in middle school, high school, and college. Coaches will review academic progress reports multiple times per season. A primary objective of Barracuda Basketball is to develop well-rounded student athletes with the potential to earn athletic scholarships. We understand the critical role that maintaining a strong GPA throughout high school plays in achieving this goal. Our program aims to produce highly competitive student-athletes who are well-positioned for success at the collegiate level.
Sincerely, Coach Matt
Barracudas 2017 - 2018 JR. NBA coach of the year
Ask Juan Caez about Matt Morrison and what comes to mind first is his nonstop motor. "Every day he comes in with a dry shirt, and by the time he leaves, he’s the sweatiest guy there," said Caez, program coordinator at the Tualatin Hills Athletic Center. "There's no one who works harder or hustles more." Then Caez added with a chuckle, "I think I need to get him more shirts." That powerful work ethic and enthusiasm for working with kids are key reasons Morrison, a part-time instructor at the Athletic Center, was recently honored by the Portland Trail Blazers and its Rip City Academy as Junior NBA Coach of the Year. According to the Blazers, the award is given to a youth volunteer basketball coach "who is making a positive impact on children by demonstrating integrity, character and leadership." Morrison was selected as the best from 13 participating leagues in Oregon and southwest Washington, including THPRD. To top it off, he was presented the award by one of his role models: Terry Stotts, head coach of the Blazers. The presentation occurred right before the Portland-New York game on March 6 at the Moda Center. "What a rush," Morrison recalled. "There was so much going on and to take in, I wish I could go back in time and relive the moment in slow motion...It gave me chills in a good way." Equally sweet was that he was nominated for the award six times by his 8th-grade players and their parents. One player wrote, "He is the reason I love to play the sport." A parent added, "He keeps a level head, stays positive and encourages the team to give it 100% through the entire game, even if there is no chance for a win." Morrison has been a volunteer coach at THPRD for two seasons. The award – which automatically entered him in the running for national Jr. NBA Coach of the Year – has not surprisingly given him extra incentive to continue. "What I like best about coaching is seeing smiling faces because they learned or mastered that skill they thought they never could do," he said. "That makes me smile
