We cannot operate without our Coaches!!!

KYBA depends on volunteer coaches to allow as many children as possible the opportunity to learn the game of basketball.  We offer a coaches clinic to provide coaches with the tools and instruction necessary to successfully coach a youth recreation team.

Recreational team coaches are not required to have previous coaching experience (although it is preferred).  If chosen as a head coach, KYBA will hold a mandatory coaches meeting and clinic (tentatively scheduled for October 30th).  At the meeting you will receive your roster, choose your practice time and location and receive additional instructions to help your season go as smooth as possible.
 
Tournament team coaches are required to have previous coaching experience and only the head coach will be chosen prior to tryouts. Tournament team coaches must have their applications submitted NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 23rd. If chosen as head coach, you will be asked to attend the tournament team tryouts, which are tentatively scheduled for September 25th through 28th.  Results will be compiled at the completion of tryouts and e-mailed to the coaches by September 30th and a Coaches meeting is tentatively scheduled for October 1st with the KYBA Board to finalize the roster, choose your practice time and location, and receive additional instructions and ask questions of the Board to help your season run as smoothly as possible.

For the protection of the children involved in the program, ALL Rec and Tournament coaches (including assistants) must undergo a background check prior to being approved as a coach. Coaches are selected by the KYBA board.  In addition, prior to your first practice, you must complete satisfactory training as required by "Jenna's Law".
