I would like to coach basketball, how can I get involved?
Most clubs are constantly in need of coaching help, so the first step would be to contact clubs in your area to see if they are looking for people to help out with coaching. Basketball Ireland's Code of Ethics 1999 states that all coaches should hold a recognised qualification from Basketball Ireland. This is in recognition of the unique role coaches play in the development of children and in keeping with the Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children In Ireland (June 1996, Dept. Of Education).
Who will line a basketball court for me?
