Basketball Victoria are excited to open applications for the inaugural Accelerated Women’s Coaching Program. This program will give a select number of women coaches the opportunity to learn from Victorian State Team Coaches by shadowing the teams at the U16 National Championships in Bendigo, Victoria.
This opportunity is open to women with a Club Coach accreditation who aspire to apply for a State Team coaching role in the future. Selected applicants will need to be available to attend the championships in Bendigo including a two-night stay from July 6 to July 8, 2024. Accommodation within Bendigo will be fully covered, with participants needing to be able to transport themselves to and from Bendigo at the commencement and conclusion of the program.
In addition to spending time with the Victorian U16 state teams, program participants will have the opportunity to hear from other leading coaches in the high-performance landscape. They will also receive professional development opportunities in the lead-up to attending the championship, and upon completion of the program will receive their Association level coaching accreditation.
Basketball Victoria Coach Development Coordinator Rob Coulter is excited to develop and facilitate this new program.
“We are committed to providing opportunities for women to expand their coaching experience, and the Accelerated Women’s Coaching Program will provide a specialised, hands-on experience for women who aspire to coach at a high level” Rob said.
Women (aged 18+) with a Club Coach accreditation and aspirations to coach at a high level are invited to apply. This opportunity will be limited to a select number of applicants with the ability to attend Bendigo Basketball Stadium between July 6 – 8, as well as capacity to attend several pre-tournament trainings and online meetings.
Applicants are required to submit their coaching resume, as well as a letter of support from their club or association via the below application form. Applications are now open, and close at midnight on Wednesday May 15, 2024. No late applications will be accepted.
