Coaches

Greg Rust, Athletic Director

"Coach Rust" volunteers his time as the Athletic Director and coaches High School basketball, Soccer and other sports as the need arises. He is also a member of the American Christian Academy Board of Directors and currently homeschools his daughter, who plays on the high school girls team.

Chris Hurton, Girls Coach

Coach Chris is an ACA alumnus and former player on their high school basketball team. As one of the Pastors of Sunrise Bible Fellowship, he tries to teach the kids the importance of discipline, hard work and perseverance to succeed in sports and to grow in their faith.

Caleb Peterson, Boys Coach

Coach Caleb is a High School Junior, but is already in his third year of coaching. He continues to show the leadership that he developed as the starting point guard to pass on his knowledge and experience to the next generation.

Albert Estrada, Assistant Coach

Mr. Estrada works as as school principal and 5th-8th grade teacher at Bend Elementary School. He volunteers as an ACA coach and was instrumental in working out the arrangement that allows Bend students to join the Eagles teams.

Whereas public school teams spend pay their coaches $1000-$2000 per team per season, all American Christian Academy coaches and staff volunteer their time in an effort to keep costs minimal and make sports available to as many kids as possible. Please show your appreciation for the 160+ hours of volunteer time they will each give to our kids this season.

Philosophy

Coaching Philosophy

I coach the teams with an emphasis on improving the players skills and building their character. This means that though I coach to win and the players play to win, victory in the score comes second to improvement. This emphasis results in some unique features of my coaching style:

•I build practices around the idea that the more times each player touches the ball, the more he/she can improve in ball control. When there is not enough time for both, you may notice that I often sacrifice strategy drills in favor of skills development (dribbling, passing etc.). High school coaches often build their players in strategy, but can only do so if the fundamental skills are in place.

•I will try to position players according to their strengths, but also rotate them around as much as possible to help them explore other positions, develop a more complete understanding of the game and diversify their skills.

•I will play my seventh and eighth graders for as much of the game as possible, both because they are stronger players who give us a better chance of winning, and because the younger players will have more years to enjoy the game. The great benefit of frequent breaks for 5th and 6th graders is that I can give them more input and they can see the older players example of how to play a specific position or react in a certain situation.

•I will push the kids to work harder than they think they can and challenge them to conquer new skills that they dont think possible. I will expect more from kids who have played previously and I will demand more of the 8th graders than the 5th graders. The players that I think can accomplish more, I will push harder. This may result in situations that are unfair, but you can be assured that my reason for different standards is to bring the most out of each individual.
