    Description of Duties


    Basketball Manitoba and the Winnipeg Minor Basketball Association are seeking passionate and dedicated volunteers to take on the role of head coach or assistant coach in our community basketball programs. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of young athletes while helping grow the game at the grassroots level.

    As a coach, you will play a vital role in teaching basketball skills and concepts at team practices and games, with support from the area Convenor.

    You will be responsible for fostering a positive and inclusive team environment, communicating with players and parents, and helping athletes develop not just as basketball players, but also as individuals.

Whether you are a former player, a basketball enthusiast, or someone looking to gain coaching experience, this role provides valuable leadership and teamwork skills that extend beyond the court.

    No prior coaching experience is required—training and resources are available to help you succeed. Join us in making a difference in your community through basketball
