Become a Coach

We offer our community the opportunity to get involved in coaching and supporting the development of our players.

Coaching is a rewarding role that involves leading a team, running training sessions, teaching basketball skills and concepts, and fostering teamwork. Coaches play a vital role in player development and contribute greatly to the strength of our wider basketball community.

There is opportunities to coach in all programs and competitions.

Our coaches receive guidance and support through our Director of Coaching and Pathways, including assistance with drills, session planning, and building their coaching toolkit.

We also support coaches in gaining accreditations and completing training, helping them grow at their own pace and progress through the coaching pathway as desired.
