To produce really great players they have to play in great clubs and this cannot happen without .....excellent coaches!

 

The road to coaching excellence is a long one and the coaches that make it to the top say the road is never ending; but everyone has to start somewhere and it is now easier than ever to become a qualified coach through England Basketball's Coach Education Programme.

 

The first step and often the best way to get into coaching is to go along to your local club session (after asking permission) and get involved with setting up the session, organising the players in the drills etc. After a few weeks you'll feel confident enough to making a commitment to becoming a coach.

 

The next step to becoming a fully qualified coach is to enrol on an England Basketball coaching course, which take place at various locations across the country.

 

 

Each region will appoint a Coach Education and Development Co-ordinator, who will be responsible for organising courses and clinics for coach education.
