Basketball Program Volunteers

As a volunteer organization we rely on the hard work of parents and other volunteers to make a successful basketball season. Please return the application form to Gretchen Hanson (slohgloh@yahoo.com) as soon as possible if you wish to volunteer for a specific responsibility. Please find a volunteer application in the links section of this blog. It has a list of several jobs that we need help with. If you have questions about the job responsibility for any of the volunteer position please see below. All volunteers identified as coaches will also be required to complete a leadership application with a background check. Coaches - We utilize both parent and college student coaches to work with each team. We want 2-4 coaches with each team. Parent input is considered in reviewing potential coaches for each season. The Basketball Committee makes the final decision on all coaches. Also the "lead" coach of each team will have a say in who ends up being part of their team's coaching team. If you are interested in helping coach a team please fill out the application and return to Gretchen Hanson (slohgloh@yahoo.com). Most team's practice are during the day and held twice each week and each team may play two games per week and on occasion teams play in a weekend tournament which would mean 3-4 games over a Thursday-Saturday weekend. The time involvement gets more extensive as the players move up from the 12U teams to the 18U teams. Our basketball program emphasizes Competition, Development, and Spiritual Leadership. Trainers, First Aid, CPR - We would like to know if any of our parents have this type of training.
