COACHES NEEDED 

We have a dedicated leader for each session. These coaches are certified by Canada Basketball and knowledgable in the program.

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.

DATES OF THE SESSION - Fall/Winter 2020 - 2021 - To Be Decided
