Coaches will also be required to participate in associated basketball camps and promotional sessions. Reports on numbers coached must be submitted.
School coaching sessions are expected to commence in early October. Applicants will need to be available to work from this date. Other camps and events will run throughout the year. If a successful applicant wishes to start earlier that may be possible.
Interviews will be held in early October. One part of the interview will be a practical coaching session which will assess applicant’s coaching and interpersonal skills with a group of children similar to those engaged on the EBA programme.
