COACHING
Wagga Basketball offers a range of programs and resources targeted at developing our coaches
Why get involved in coaching?
There are lots of reasons why people get involved in coaching.
As a basketball coach, you will often form the first lasting impression that participants and their families have with our game.
Wagga Basketball relies on dedicated volunteers to teach people how to play the game and compete at a local and higher representative level. We recognise there is a need to support these volunteers with high quality, consistent, accessible training.
Coaching accreditation
You don't need any qualifications to coach at a local level. You just need a working with children check and an enthusiasm for coaching and contributing to player development.
If you are looking at taking the next step in your coaching journey, below is an outline of the relevant accreditations required.
Club Coach Accreditation (Formerly Level 1)
Suited for domestic and representative grade coaches, the Club Coach Course is the most commonly delivered course throughout NSW.
It is typically viewed as the entry-level basketball coaching accreditation for any coach who is interested in investing time into improving their coaching skill set. This course is a minimum requirement to coach at junior representative level.
Association Coach Accreditation (Formerly Level 2)
Suited for higher representative grade coaches (including Division 1, State Teams etc) the Association Coach Course is delivered 1-2 times a year in both metropolitan and regional NSW.
