Coach­ing a Devel­op­ment Team

TCYBA is always look­ing for vol­un­teers to help coach teams. Whether you’ve played bas­ket­ball before and want to coach a team, or you’re keen to learn the game and want to help out as an assis­tant coach, we’d love to hear from you.

Our devel­op­ment teams are seg­mented as: Juniors (Grades 2–5), Senior (Grades 6–8) and Recre­ational (Grades 9–12).

This com­ing fall we are going to be imple­ment­ing a new sys­tem for devel­op­ing coaches, which in turn will help develop our play­ers on a more even level. We under­stand that every­one has busy sched­ules and can’t always attend coach­ing clin­ics, so we’ll be bring­ing the clin­ics to you. Start­ing in the Grade 2/3 and 3/4 lev­els we’ll be pair­ing teams together at the begin­ning of the sea­son and pro­vid­ing expe­ri­enced coaches to help run the ses­sions. More detailed infor­ma­tion about this acad­emy for­mat is com­ing soon.

If you are inter­ested in coach­ing a please email the Coach­ing Director

Coach­ing a Rep Team

The TCYBA Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Divi­sion whilst being sim­i­lar to our past Metro Pro­gram is a expanded and more com­pet­i­tive focused offer­ing. Pri­mar­ily the dif­fer­ence is that in place of Select/Metro Teams we will be offer­ing more Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Teams. Our goal for the first year is detailed below, but we are will­ing to have more Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Teams, pro­vided we have Coaches and Play­ers ready for play at the Rep­re­sen­ta­tive level.

For 2011–2012 sea­son we would like to form the fol­low­ing with your assistance:

GIRLS
U13 (Grade 6 & 7): 1 — “A” Team 1 — “B” Team
*please note that both teams are open to Grade 6 and 7 play­ers
U14 (Grade 7 & 8): 1 — “A” Team
