Participation Coach Course Set for April School Holidays
McKinnon Basketball will deliver a Participation Coaching Course during the upcoming April School Holidays, providing an opportunity for coaches to build their knowledge and confidence ahead of the upcoming Winter 2026 season.
The course, previously known as the Community Coach Accreditation, sits within Basketball Australia’s updated Coach Development Framework and is aimed at supporting coaches working within domestic programs and those beginning their coaching journey.
The Participation Coach Course is intended for all coaches who are in grassroots settings where the primary focus is on enjoyment and teaching the basics. Wins and losses are of no interest to you because you’re coaching U12s, and you’re simply trying to give everyone the best experience possible. We recommend it for:
All MBA Domestic Coaches
VJBL Assistant Coaches
