BBA COACHES
As a basketball coach you will often form the first lasting impression that participants and their families have with our game. Basketball throughout Australia relies on dedicated volunteers to teach people how to play the game and compete.
Becoming a basketball coach is simple:
- Step 1: Contact your Club directly or email us at Bunbury Basketball Association
- Step 2: Complete your Working with Children’s (if applicable)
- Step 3: Complete a Community Coaching Course
Want to take your coaching to next level? We encourage you to contact our Representative Development Committee to enquire about connecting with a Coach Mentor or assisting / participating in our Bears Representative Program. This can be as little as coming to watch our rep teams and coaches in action to get ideas for training drills or arranging for a Coach Mentor to come along to one of your training sessions. Those wanting more and wanting to dive in, our Development Committee can help connect you with one of our Head Coaches to enquire about assisting one of our Representative Teams in South West Regional & State based Carnivals.
