How to Do it
(coach at club level)
The club coach needs to learn through the
respective coach education and
development activities available in the
home countries. A club coach must work
off the education of the respective Level 1
and Level 2 coach education courses.
Clinics and technical workshops are
offered to club coaches in England through
the regional development programme and
in Scotland through basketballscotland’s
coach development programmes.
Club coaches need to apply their existing knowledge to the role of a club coach and
then extend their knowledge and understanding on behalf of the players they are
responsible for.
The coach’s role is clearly to use their knowledge and understanding to design and
plan practice, convey information and provide meaningful feedback to players.
