Basketball SA Coaching Workshop Series
In June 2012 Basketball SA will begin delivering the first of a series of coaching workshops aimed at offering all coaches training opportunities in addition to the Level O and NCAS courses already being delivered.
It is intended that these workshops will be offered on a regular and ongoing basis covering a broad range of coaching subjects which will be of benefit to the broad spectrum of the coaching community from the novice to the more experienced.
Each workshop of two hours will have a specific subject and be delivered by coaches highly experienced in the subject area.
Attendance will be free but coaches wishing to attend will be asked to register online in advance of the workshop.
To launch this workshop series Basketball SA is fortunate to be able to call on the knowledge and experience of three high profile coaches to deliver the first three workshops in June and September.
Don’t miss these opportunities to broaden your coaching knowledge and learn from coaches at the highest level.
