about CCG & Coach Matt Dennis
It's Your Journey, What Will You Do With It
I'm sure you can relate to this... You've waited your whole life to lead a team. You spent years as an assistant coach or lower level coach hoping your name gets called to take the a head job one day, and that day finally arrives. The excitement is almost uncontrollable. Every conversation you have, every thought, and every internet search you do is about basketball. You're ready to develop players, build a team, and lead that team to win after win.
If you felt this way, or maybe feel this way right now, you're just like me. I spent time as a middle school coach, assistant varsity coach, and an assistant college coach before getting to lead my first team as the head coach and I was so excited to get started. What I wasn't ready for was all of the decisions a head coach has to make and of course I didn't know what I didn't know so I had to learn on the fly.
I quickly found out that I needed to be more organized, put systems in place for developing my players, teaching my offense and defense, scouting opponents, running camps, scheduling team camps, scrimmages, open gyms and whole host of other things. And of course, I was the one meeting with players, parents, and administration. Whoa!! That's a lot!
My love for the game led me to 8 wins and 22 losses in my first season. I knew I needed to change a few things. My love basketball didn't automatically make me a great coach. So, I decided I was going to learn how to be a good and hopefully one day a great coach and I sought out mentors that I could ask questions to and learn from. I discovered new offensive concepts, new defensive strategies, how to organize a camp, how to keep my players bought in to what "WE" were doing as a team and be a better communicator and leader. I got a Phd in coaching by learning from others. I've now led my teams to top 10 state rankings, won conference and district titles, and won a few awards. This only happened because others were willing to mentor and pour into me so I could become a better coach.
My mission is now to pour into other coaches who want to improve. I take the lessons I've learned from my mentors and my own experiences and pass them along to other coaches from all over the country. Through CCG, coaches have started camps, put in new offenses, implemented pressure defenses, learned to be better communicators and leaders, and of course, they've won more games. So what do you say, Coach? Are you ready to be get better?
Endorsement
Hall of Fame Coach Offers Kind Words
Coach Welch showed up to one of my free Workshops, which blew me away. A BCAM Hall of Fame coach who has won more games than I have coached has signed up and attended my workshop. Whoa!!! He didn't just attend, he gave me an unexpected and unsolicited endorsement. Take a listen to his kind words.
Imagine The Success You'll Have With...
Group Coaching Calls
Each month we will have group coaching calls. During these calls we will go work through the 4 phases and 7 key areas of building a program along with looking at coaches specific needs. This approach allows you to fast track your success and quickly eliminate your learning curve.
Mentorship
A mentor can save you a lot of time, offer clarity, and lower your stress level. With the ability to set up a 1-on-1 meeting when something comes up, you know you will be ready to handle any situation on or off the court no matter what the topic - opponents, players, parents, camps, or whatever comes up.
Monthly Coaching Tips & Strategies
Each month coaches will release a lesson to help you stay on top of leading a team and running a program. Topics could be things such as out-of-bounds plays, team building, leadership strategies, captains meetings, leadership building ideas, or a whole host of other topics.
Coaching Vault
All-Access
Included in the Championship Coaches Group is all- access to the Coaching Lab - including the Coaching Library, Drill Vault, Coaching Courses, Clinic Replays, and more.

Special Guest coaches

faq
The CCG Group is designed to help coaches who want to lead their program and enhance their coaching. This is often the varsity coach but could be an assistant or lower level coach who is in charge of different areas of the program like youth camps, youth leagues, scheduling, fundraising or a host of other areas.
Don't look at joining as a cost, look at being a part of CPB as an investment. The time, money, and headaches you'll save is well worth the investment in yourself. Coaches have the option of a monthly investment of $29 and a yearly investment is $290 (two months free).
Yes. The easiest way is to pay is electronically but I know how school systems work so a check is just fine. All you need to do is contact me so I can get an invoice to you.
I get it, and that's why there is a monthly option and not just the yearly. If the cost is too high I encourage you to put the cost of the membership in your basketball budget when you're doing your fundraising, ask your boosters to cover the cost, or ask your A.D. to help cover the cost. I offer to cover the cost of membership and products for my coaching staff, all they have to do is ask.
If you'd like for more than one coach on your staff to be a part of the group please email Coach at matt@coachmattdennis.com for special pricing plans.
I love it when I get to meet with an entire coaching staff. Running a program isn't a one person show all the time so getting everyone on the same page is a great idea. Please email me at matt@coachmattdennis.com for information about complete staff meetings.
Memberships require a level of commitment that a course or free group don't have. Courses can often go unwatched and just collect digital dust. Free groups lack leadership and often have so much noise that coaches don't realize growth.
You bet we will! A championship program must have strategy, X's and O's, and player development included in the mix. This Championship Coaches Group is more than just these three areas of the game though!
