Community Coaching Courses- Level 0

​

The accreditation is mandatory for all volunteers who have taken on a coaching role with a team playing in SBA junior domestic competitions. It only needs to be completed once.

​

The SBA advertise local Community Coaching courses on their website; these usually run prior to the start of a new season:

https://www.southernbasketball.com.au/officials/coaches-officials/

​

​The course covers:

Learning how your players learn and how to convey information to them in a way they are able to understand;

How to promote a growth mindset for your players;

How to use your time efficiently by structuring a training sessions for junior domestic players;

Ball-handling, passing, shooting and lay-up drills for your teams;

How to coach competitive situations and small-sided games.

​

The accreditation process has changed to now include:

• 1 hour online component completed in the Basketball Australia portal with a certificate issued.

• 2 hours on court practical component with a further certificate issued.

You will be unable to attend the on court practical component if the online component has not been successfully completed.

​

If no local courses are advertised, the SBA have advised that you should be able to find a course that works for you via this website: https://vichoops.co/3tJaonP

​

If there is no course available that suits, please still register and pay via the link above and complete the online training component and attend the next practical course available.
