What is required to become a coach?:
A Travel Coach ....
... must be a "Double-Goal" coach. While winning is always
a goal, there are other goals just as important when developing
young people into adults and basketball players. You must
be willing to follow the guidelines set by the Board.
... must be opened minded and willing to
learn. Playing experience is helpful but it is not the
most important aspect of coaching. Becoming a good coach
takes years of experience and a good deal of time.
... must be a coach for all the players,
not just their family members.
... must manage the parents as well as
the players.

Time Commitment:
Typically, the teams will practice 2 times per week and play
travel games on Saturdays and Sundays. Weekday practices are
scheduled to begin and end somewhere within the 5:30 to 9:00
p.m. time frame and days and times depend on gym availability.

Team Selection:
Sometimes the Board selects coaches before the evaluations but
occasionally it is required to see which team the players are
placed on before a coach is selected. If a coach is
selected before the evaluations, the coach will be utilized as
one of the evaluators. The evaluations are used for team
placement for the winter leagues. The AAU teams and summer
teams are formed from prior knowledge of the girls.

Funds & Fees:
All payments and checks must be made out to Fishers Tigers
Basketball. A coach may collect these funds to pass on to
the Treasurer but they should not be deposited into a personal
account. All payments on the team's behalf should be made
by the Club. Contact the Treasurer if you need a check.
