Why volunteer to be a Coach?​​

  • W.I.S.E. relies on volunteers to maintain our community based programs, without you, we would not exist.

  • It's rewarding! You will have a positive impact helping kids build skills, confidence and teamwork that will benefit them for life! 

  • You are a role model- you set an example of leadership, sportsmanship, and perseverance. 

  • Watching young athletes improve and have fun can be deeply satisfying. 

  • Head Coach's child receives a discount on registration

Here's what we ask of you:

  • 1 hour per week for practice

  • 1 hour per week for games

  • No prior coaching experience required, just a love of the game and desire to teach kids basketball fundamentals

  • You'll receive basketball equipment

  • You'll receive basketball drills to help with practices

  • Have fun!
