COACHES NEEDED FOR FALL/WINTER SESSION

We are looking for an interested volunteer who is willing to take on the leadership role in each session. You will become a certified FUNdamentals coach and learn how to run the sessions. This is a great step for anyone interested in coaching at higher levels. The YBA will cover the costs of this training.

We are also looking for 2 - 4 interested volunteers for each of the sessions who would like to help coach the players in these sessions. Interested parents do not need basketball experience but it would help.

You will be provided with step by step lesson plans for each of the practices.
You will have access to the Jr. NBA's Coaching website where new ideas for practices will be added throughout the year.

If you are interested, contact YBA Executive Administrator Mike Quigley at mike@kwyba.com.
