Bend Parks seeks youth basketball coaches

KTVZ

The Bend Park and Recreation District is seeking adult volunteers to coach youth basketball for the 2015 Youth Basketball League.

Program participants are boys and girls in 3rd through 5th grades. Volunteer coaches are an essential part of the program, providing support with program logistics, coaching and mentoring youth. Volunteers must enjoy working with youth and be able to create a positive, encouraging recreational environment for all players.

The basketball season is January 5th to March 7th. Practices are held twice weekday evenings with games played on Saturdays. Coaches volunteer approximately five hours per week for the 10-week season.

Training and on-going support is provided. Volunteer coaches must attend a pre-season volunteer orientation/training. Safety is top priority, so all coaches must complete a volunteer application and criminal background check, as well as online concussion awareness training. Online volunteer application and background check available at www.bendparksandrec.org.
