Introductory Coaching

Basketball Nova Scotia’s (BNS) Introductory Coaching Course is a FREE coaching course available to all Basketball Nova Scotia Member Clubs.

The course is currently being revamped and will be offered in the coming months.

The course was created to help bridge the gap for coaches in their first years of coaching prior to completing their NCCP FUNdamentals or Learn to Train Certification. The course will be offered in a virtual, self directed format through short videos. 

Please connect directly with Emma Duinker at basketballtd@sportnovascotia.ca for more detail.

Included are links to resources to assist newer coaches in preparation for the course and upcoming basketball season.
