How to become a youth basketball coach

How to Become a Basketball Coach (11-Step Guide)

Coaching young people at the youth and high school level is an important job.

Aside from teaching the skills and fundamentals of basketball, a great basketball coach can have a tremendous impact on the life of a child.

The coaching community is in need of quality role models to enter the profession… and more importantly, young people are in need of these role models.

We need more people learning how to become a basketball coach!

But how does a person begin his or her coaching career?

Maybe you aspire to one day be a high school head coach, or maybe you would simply like to help out at the local community center.

Regardless of your coaching aspirations, there are several ways to give yourself the best chance of finding your “dream job.”

Below I’ll explain how…

An important question to consider when starting your coaching career is:

“Why do I want to coach?”

The answer to that question may help you determine the best level for you.

For example, if your goal is to make a lot of money, you probably won’t be happy at the youth or high school levels. But if your passion is making a difference in the lives of young people, the younger levels could be perfect for you.

The decision between the youth and high school levels can be a difficult one.

There are pros and cons to each level.

At the youth level, you get to see players improve rapidly as they learn the game for the first time. Many youth teams don’t practice every day, so it is easier to schedule practices around other obligations. However, if you enjoy high-level competition and advanced offensive and defensive execution, you may want to move up to a higher level.

High school coaches usually have more practice time and more leeway to implement Xs and Os they like, and the high school level can be very competitive. However, this means there is far more pressure. It’s also a bigger time commitment, so your work schedule and family commitments must be considered.

Regardless of your preferred coaching destination, you have to start somewhere.

Few, if any, coaches start immediately with a varsity head coaching position.

Most learn the basics on how to become a basketball coach at the youth level.

If you’re humble enough to start there, you’ll be pleased to know that many schools and community leagues are always looking for help.

You will have to volunteer at first, but it is a great way to gain experience.

There is another advantage of starting at the youth level…

It makes you a better coach!

Because the players are younger and the game is newer to them, you must learn to teach the game simply and clearly. This skill will serve you well if you choose to advance to higher levels later.

Plus, working with young kids is extremely fun and rewarding!

A large part of the coaching opportunities you get will come down to two factors:

a. WHAT you know

b. WHO you know

Coaches should always continue expanding their knowledge of the game.

Even the best coaches are constantly seeking out new ideas.

The good news is that it has never been easier to learn about the game.

There are many resources available online and on social media.

It’s also good to attend some coaching clinics.

Basketball coaching clinics are an excellent way to hear experienced coaches share their knowledge while meeting and networking with other coaches.

You may also consider volunteering at a basketball camp.

This could be at your local high school or even at a college.

Many colleges look for young coaches to help out at their youth camps, and some even pay their helpers.

These camps give you some extra coaching experience and are great networking opportunities.

This is a crucial part of coaching development.

Coaching is naturally a profession of service.

If you’re willing to reach out, there are likely plenty of coaches in your area who would love to share ideas and help you get your basketball coaching career started.

One idea is to seek out a recently retired coach.

This person might have more free time than someone currently coaching, and would have years of experience to share with you.

If you don’t know of a retired coach, contact some local high school coaches who you respect.

Most would be happy to go out to lunch or engage in a phone conversation.

Most head coaches began their careers as assistants.

Assistant coaches are tremendously important to the success of a program and often have more time to focus on player development.

Seek out the best coaches in your area and find out if they are looking for assistants.

A good head coach can give you a big knowledge boost as you study how to become a basketball coach, and they could also serve as a great reference as you try to move up the coaching ladder.

Look for someone whose style you may like to emulate and who will give you an important role on the coaching staff.

Assistant coaching positions may or may not be paid, but they are crucial in advancing your career.

As you seek out potential assistant coaching jobs, it’s helpful to specialize in at least one particular area.

From a head coach’s perspective, it’s nice to have assistants who are experts in different parts of the game.

For example, if you are a phenomenal shooting coach, you can immediately add value to any program in that area. The same is true if you are an excellent defensive technician.

One of the most famous assistant coaches who had a specialty was Tex Winter, the master of the Triangle Offense. He was Phil Jackson’s sidekick for many years.

This doesn’t mean you can neglect the other aspects of the game, of course...

You must continue to learn and grow in all areas.

You can also enhance a program by becoming an expert in some off-the-court skills.

Running a high school program requires many elements outside of on the court coaching:

• Scouting
• Fundraising
• Running social media accounts
• Promoting players to colleges
• etc.

If you excel in one of these areas, that can help you earn an assistant’s job and eventually become a head coach.

Once you have your foot in the door as a youth coach or as a high school assistant, do absolutely everything possible to add value to your program.

Some coaches fail because they look down on seemingly minor tasks.

Be grateful for all opportunities you get!

If your head coach needs someone to run the clock at practice, do it willingly.

If a player needs a rebounder, volunteer to rebound and pass.

If the floor needs to be swept, grab a broom.

These things will make a good impression on your head coach and your players.

These tasks may seem small but they need done and doing them makes your team better.

Basketball coaching jobs, especially at the high school varsity level, can be difficult to get.

Depending on your area and the quality of the job, there could be dozens of applicants.

As with any job, an applicant’s resume plays an important part in receiving an interview and a potential job offer.

When putting your resume together, consider what skills you have that might set you apart from other applicants.

Is there something tangible that shows your impact on a basketball program?

For example, consider this line on a resume:

“As our program’s defensive coach, I helped improve our team’s points allowed from 65 points per game in 2018-2019 to 52 points per game in 2019-2020. ”

This line stands out because it proves you have had success in your role.

If you don’t have specific successes like that example, do your best to highlight what skills you will bring to a basketball program.

Remember to be honest but to emphasize what you do well.

Before you start to receive interviews, it’s important to prepare a coaching portfolio.

This could be an important part of the interview process and could also help you clarify your coaching philosophy and program plan.

There is no “right” way to create a portfolio.

However, most coaches include:

• Their standards/values
• Coaching philosophy
• Expectations on the court
• Expectations in the classroom
• Offensive/defensive ideas
• etc

If you are preparing to interview for a head coaching position, be sure to include ways to develop your middle school and youth players as well.

Remember to connect your portfolio to the specific needs of the program.

For example, if the program has previously struggled with discipline, you might want to emphasize your team standards and how you hold players accountable to those expectations.

Your interview is your big opportunity to make an impression and land your dream job.

Do your best to prepare so that you can remain calm during the interview.

Do some research on the school and program.

• What might they be looking for?
• Is it a successful program, or have they been struggling?
• Why did the previous coach leave?

Be prepared to answer questions about your philosophy, ability to connect with kids, running a K-12 program (if applicable), conducting tryouts, and dealing with difficult parents.

While your preferred Xs and Os could come into play, keep in mind that many members of the interview committee may have little basketball knowledge.

Administrators often care more about behind the scenes aspects of running a program than specific offenses and defenses.

• How does the coach communicate?
• Can he or she cooperate with other coaches in our school?
• Does he or she carry themself like a professional?
• Does the coach encourage players to excel academically?
• How does he or she deal with angry parents?

Be ready to discuss these kinds of questions.

Remember to dress professionally, and, most importantly, be yourself!

Ultimately, you want to find a job that is a great fit for you.

Be honest, be yourself, and articulate your vision clearly.

Getting a head coaching job takes some time and often requires some good luck.

There may be some rejection and frustration along the way.

Do your best to enjoy each step of the process and make a positive impact on the lives of the players you get to coach.

Use your time spent moving up the ladder to learn, gain experience, and make a difference.

The best way to get a better job is to make an impact at your current job.

Remember that ALL coaching opportunities have value, regardless of role and level, because they provide us with opportunities to teach the game and build quality young people.

Before you leave, there’s one more important thing to know…

Former playing experience is not a requirement to start your journey learning how to become a basketball coach.

While playing experience certainly helps, there have been plenty of excellent coaches who did not play the game at a high level.

Coaching requires a completely different skill set than playing.

So if you’re a person who loves basketball and would like to make a difference in the lives of young people, you can be a successful basketball coach!

You just need passion, knowledge, commitment, and some good fortune.

How to Become a Youth Sports Coach – Rookie Mentor

So, you’ve been thinking about becoming a youth sports coach for a while now. But you’re a little stuck on how to actually get started. Come take a seat on the bench (this is a good thing), as we teach you how to become a youth sports coach who loves helping kids and can truly make an impact.

Becoming a youth sports coach is firstly about educating yourself in your sport of choice and building confidence to teach it. Find yourself a role with a team or club, build your knowledge and reputation and eventually get to a point of coaching your own team or group within the youth coaching ranks.

Becoming a youth sports coach is an incredibly rewarding way to give back to the community. You can teach the next generation to not only be great athletes, but also good people. Take a look at the following four steps to learn how you can become a youth sports coach anyone would love to have.

Step 1: Take a Training Course on the Sport You’re Interested in Coaching

How comfortable would you feel coaching a bunch of eager, energetic kids a sport you’re interested in and maybe watched on TV a few times, but have a loose idea on the rules and really how the sport works?

Pretty daunting, right? I’m getting flustered and hot under the collar just thinking about it.

But you know what…

“Studies show that only 5-10% of youth sport coaches have received any relevant training”

National Council for Accreditation of Coaching Education

What!? 5-10% have received any relevant training? In other words 91% of the 2. 46 million amateur coaches in America receive little to no training (source)

I was initially shocked to read this but then I really thought about it.

How many moms and dads have been tapped on the shoulder by some anxious and frustrated person at the local sports club a few days before the start of the season saying, “could you please coach the team this season? We are desperate and we think you’d be perfect.”

A lot. Like a heck of a lot. And it’s probably happened to you.

So you might then be thinking, “does it mean I can become a youth sports coach without any form of training or qualification?” And the answer is yes.

But will it make you the best coach you can be, who the kids and their parents look up to and want to be coached by…… probably not.

So you need to ask yourself, what kind of youth sports coach do you want to be?

Do you want to just “wing it” and pick up tips and advice from potentially agitated parents along the way, or do you want to feel extremely confident on game day and know you have what it takes?

If you are interested in just “winging it” good luck. I’ve been there many times before because I never knew coaching courses existed (and really didn’t care to find out due to pure ignorance) and it can be tough, but not impossible.

However, if you want to learn more and be a better, educated coach on the following points, there are courses to help you get there.

• What it means to be a coach
• How to prevent injury
• How to teach goal-setting, perseverance, good sportsmanship
• Nutrition and hydration
• How to keep kids active, motivated and participating
• Why it’s important to be healthy and active, even as a kid

Plus, so much more. Man I wish I had taken a course like this.

Some of these courses are run by the following professional organizations. Click on each link to explore their course, pricing and if it’s right for you.

• National Alliance for Youth Sports (NAYS)
• American Coaching Academy
• The United States Sports Academy
• Positive Coaching Alliance

Who pays for the youth sports coaching course?

Probably you in the beginning. But it could be worth exploring the option of a split payment / further education when you’ve found yourself a coaching position at a club or facility.

If you want to take your education even one step further, there is an abundance of university and college courses available at your disposal.

These are likely to be more expensive but will dive into details these shorter courses I mentioned above simply don’t have time to cover.

It should also be known that these college degrees are not necessary to successfully fulfil the role of a youth sports coach (outside of the school environment) so don’t stress if you think that’s way to much work!

If you’re interested, here are a few courses to consider:

• Level 3 Diploma in Sports Coaching
• Graduate Certificate in Sport Coaching & Leadership (see course)
• Master of Science in Sport Coaching & Leadership (see course)
• Multiple courses from Human Kinetics and Coach Education center (click to find out more)

Step 2: See What Youth Sports Coaching Jobs are Available Locally

It’s time to pound the pavement.

If you haven’t been tapped on the shoulder by the stressed and emotional president of your local club asking you to coach a team, don’t just sit around a wait for it to happen.

You’ve got to get after it.

Here is where I would start:

• The local recreation center.
  Rec centers are a fantastic place for you to mingle, meet people and see what opportunities exist. Depending on the size of the center, they can offer anything from pools to tennis and basketball courts, even karate and boxing. Be observant, curious and ready to talk.

• The local field.
  Are you interested in a field sport like softball or baseball? Go and talk to the existing coach. How did they get the gig? Are they interested in coaching next year? Would they mind if you came to training to learn from them?

• Local schools
  Even if you don’t have formal qualifications, some schools may welcome you anyway if you have impressive past experience in playing the sport, a good attitude and a true, obvious passion for teaching kids.

• Ask around
  I am a firm believer in the phrase, “there is no harm in asking.” Ask friends, family, parents, neighbors… anyone who could point you in the direction to obtaining a youth sports coaching job. Put your “I have confidence” outfit on if you need to.

• Online job sites.
  Websites like indeed.com and glassdoor.com, CareerBuilder.com, Glassdoor.com, LinkedIn.com, summerjobfinder.com, simplyhired.com may offer some job opportunities you didn’t know existed in your local and surrounding areas.

• Look at surrounding county/suburbs or neighborhoods for opportunities
  If you’re having no luck locally, ask yourself how much are you prepared to travel for (usually) a volunteer position? You never know what could be available only 20 minutes down the road.

Step 3: Gain Youth Coaching Experience

You may have taken a whizz-bang, highly regarded coaches course but are you really feeling confident to lead an army of kids onto the field/court or sports arena?

At this point in your youth sports coaching journey, it’s time to get some experience under your belt.

Most youth sports coaches like Dan and I work in volunteer positions before opting to be the head coach. This may be a personal view but I want to feel confident I am not only coaching but mentoring kids the best way I can, and this takes time to learn.

Here are some options to gain experience as a youth sports coach before being the primary decision-maker:

Assistant Coach

Find a local sport you’re interested in coaching and approach the current coach.

Get to know them, say you’re interested in coaching and learning more about the game. Ask if you can either become an assistant or at least attend practice to watch “how it’s done”.

Some people may feel threatened you are “stealing their job” but make it known you simply want to learn more about the game and you admire the way they coach. The majority of people are more than willing to accept a helping hand.

Attend Coaching Clinics

Did you know there are free to low-cost sport coaching clinics available, probably a stone’s throw away from your local area?

A quick Google search or even using the Facebook search capabilities can reveal upcoming coaching clinics and where to find them.

Some are sport-specific while others are broader in nature.

These clinics are great to not only expand your knowledge but they’re an incredibly powerful networking tool.

Volunteer

If there is a limited number of assistant coaching jobs available, can you volunteer around the center/field helping out on game day and even at practice in a team manager type of role?

Can you hand out towels, wash uniforms, take stats and even umpire practice games?

While these suggestions are not directly coaching, you get a foot in the door, the kids, parents and other coaches get to know you and you start to learn how things operate.

This can be a huge confidence booster when your time to coach does eventuate.

Stay Educated

While you’re looking for volunteer positions, Youtube and books can be your best friend to gain knowledge others missed.

Instead of scrolling Facebook and Instagram in your free time, listen to a podcast, watch coaching videos on YouTube and read books from coaches who you admire.

For example; here is a TED Talk I recently listen to about Youth sports and keeping the kids playing longer.Youth in Sport – Keeping Kids in The Game | Hugh McDonald | TEDxLangleyED

Step 4: Look for Bigger Youth Sports Coaching Opportunities

Once you have gained enough experience, you’ll when it’s enough, you can start branching out to bigger opportunities like the head youth sports coaching gig.

Finally, he/she says!

You’ve likely done the groundwork and proven to both the parents and the kids, you know a little bit about what you’re teaching.

Some of the opportunities you’ll see advertised may require a certain level of education while others won’t.

Some will offer financial incentives while others won’t.

Some will require a contract and have a minimal time you need to coach for, while others will be season by season.

You’re in an exciting position where you get to choose the coaching path which inspires you.

I suggest to take a walk and ponder the following:

• Do I want to get paid or am I happy to be a volunteer? Is not being paid a dealbreaker?
• How far am I willing to travel?
• What kind of time commitment can I afford to give?
• What team/sport would you love to choose as your number 1,2 and 3 choice?
• Do you want to be a head coach or are you happy to be an assistant coach who takes a large role in practice?

Once you have figured out the direction you want to take your youth coaching career, it’s likely you’ll need to update your:

• Police check
• Background screening check
• Evidence of any coaching courses you’ve undertaken
• Coaching /volunteer history

If you do happen to land a head coaching job, keep learning. Read, watch and observe other coaches in order to keep developing your skills as a youth sports coach.

“All kids need is a little help, a little hope and somebody who belives in them”

How can I become a basketball coach? Kiiki

Ninety percent of basketball fans, in addition to playing basketball, would like to become a basketball coach. This is because today's coaches were once yesterday's players.

Therefore, this How to Become a Basketball Coach article explains in detail the requirements to become a basketball coach, the complete guide and how much you can earn as a basketball coach.

Becoming a basketball coach will become less strict if you have the right information.

Basketball has about 825 followers and over one hundred thousand teams. In fact, the history of basketball dates back to 1891, when James Naismith, a Canadian physical education instructor, introduced it as a less injury-prone sport than football.

Becoming a basketball coach requires certain qualifications, experience, physical strength, and a performance-oriented mindset. In fact, legendary coaches are known for their resilient spirit and drive to achieve their goals.

The table of contents below contains a number of frequently asked questions about becoming a basketball coach, which are properly answered in this article.

At its core, sport is physical activity performed according to an agreed set of rules for the purpose of recreation. It can be competition or self-gratification or a combination of both.

Whereas, a game is a recreational activity involving one or more players determined by a goal that the players are trying to achieve within some set of rules.

Thus, the difference in goals distinguishes sport from play in combination with the concept of individual skill or mastery. While games are primarily played for entertainment or enjoyment, sports can be competitive or for personal enjoyment.

Basketball is a sport because it is a physical activity played according to set rules, and a game because it is fun.

Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, usually consisting of five players each, play against each other on a rectangular court. Its origins date back to 1891, when James Naismith invented the game as a less-injury sport.

Two teams of five players each. So, we have ten players on the court at the same time, and a maximum of seven on the bench.

Usually in a game, one team tries to prevent the other team's players from scoring. However, each normal score is two points, and if a player shoots the ball into the hoop from behind a large arc-shaped line on the court called the "three-point line", three points are scored.

In addition, there are several officials in this game who do not belong to any of the teams, but are ready to help. These are the judge, referee, timekeeper, scorer and shot clock operator.

Every sport or game needs players and someone to guide and teach the skills for how these players should excel on the field. These teachers or directors are called coaches.

In this way, a professional basketball coach teaches professional basketball players all the skills they need to succeed on the court.

In addition, a professional basketball coach conducts training, selection of players and conducts games during games. They often analyze the strengths and weaknesses of their team as well as their opponents.

In addition, professional basketball coaches also evaluate and track individual performance and create games that capitalize on the strengths of their players. They can work hand in hand with assistant coaches to bring out the best in their players.

Finally, most professional basketball coaches started out and became record-breaking high school basketball coaches or even coached college and high school basketball. Some of the legendary basketball coaches include

Jim Calhoun

Winning over 600 games in four final four games, he won national championship titles. In addition, Jim Calhoun turned the Connecticut Huskies into one of the elite college basketball programs. As a result, his legendary and professional basketball coach won over 600 games. In 2005, he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Subsequently, six years later at 68, he became the oldest coach in Division 1 history with a national title.

Dean Smith

Similarly, Smith is one of the greatest innovators in college basketball. Apparently, he is the developer of the Four Corners crime. In addition, Smith turned the Tar heels into one of the most successful basketball programs in the country after taking over in 1961.
He compiled 870 wins and 11 final fours, as well as two national championships. In addition, almost 97 percent of its athletes received a degree.

Bobby Knight

This Hall of Famer coach is known for his edgy style, nicknamed The General; Bobby is the second-best winning coach in Division I men's basketball.
In fact, this legendary professional coach has 902 career victories. In addition, he led the American team to a gold medal at the 1979 Pan America Games and 1984 Olympics.
In addition, the Indiana Hoosiers turned into a perennial powerhouse, reaching five of Bobby Knight's Final Fours. In addition, he also won three national championships.
