The Dorset Storm Basketball Club Summer League aims to teach children basic to advanced skills, equipping them to be successful in competitive sport play.  This philosophy highlights the teaching of healthy mind and body; character development and sports skills, through competitive games of basketball, in a positive and fun environment. 

Specific foundations that the club would like the league to reflect include:

- Fun                                                     - Fitness

- Skills                                                   - Teamwork

- Fair play                                            - Caring

- Honesty                                             - Respect

- Responsibility                                     - Participation

- Sportsmanship                                   - Friendship

- Goal setting                                       - Volunteerism

The clubs hope is that this will be helpful in increasing the Dorset Storm Basketball Club programme and providing a competitive environment in which players can hone their basketball skills.  

It is the expectation of every person involved in the Dorset Storm Basketball Club Summer League (coaches, players, parents, spectators, and officials) to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the Dorset Storm Basketball Club and Dorset Storm Summer League philosophy, to ensure a positive experience for all.
