Coaches:
Volunteer Coaches are needed to run this program. Our goal is to have two coaches per team in a co-coaching situation. This league has a director running the weekly skills and games. Coaches should enjoy working with children and have an interest in basketball. There is one weekly practice for the 8-11 age division, and a weekly game for all groups. It does not cost anything to be a coach and we provide a free coach's t-shirt. All coaches need to pass a background check. Please see the form below. New this year for the 8-11 age group, coaches must be CPR/AED certified per NYS Law. If you are not already certified, the Recreation Department will be holding a free class. If you are certified, we will need a copy of your certification.
