What is required to become a coach?:
A Travel Coach ....

... must be a "Double-Goal" coach.  While winning is always a goal, there are other goals just as important when developing young people into adults and basketball players.  You must be willing to follow the guidelines set by the Board.

... must be opened minded and willing to learn.  Playing experience is helpful but it is not the most important aspect of coaching.  Becoming a good coach takes years of experience and a good deal of time. 

... must be a coach for all the players, not just their family members.

... must manage the parents as well as the players.

Time Commitment:
Typically, the teams will practice 2 times per week and play travel games on Thursday evenings and Sundays. Weekday practices are scheduled to begin and end somewhere within the 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. time frame and days and times depend on gym availability.

Team Selection:
Sometimes the Board selects coaches before the evaluations but occasionally it is required to see which team the players are placed on before a coach is selected.  If a coach is selected before the evaluations, the coach may be utilized as one of the evaluators, but not for the grade they are intending to coach.  The evaluations are used for team placement for the winter leagues.
