Selection of Coaches - Basketball Ontario Guidelines
All coaches must supply GYBA with a police check and comply with the volunteer screening process as required by Basketball Ontario.
All coaches selected must understand the philosophy of the GYBA program, as outlined in this document, and coach in accordance with it. All coaches are encouraged to attend any coaching clinics supported by the GYBA and submit a list of the personal coaching development activities they have completed during the past year (see coaching application form). It is the Board's responsibility to ensure all coaches are aware of and understand the mission and goals of the program as outlined herein.
All coaching candidates must submit the GYBA written application including the applicant declaration and review form required by Basketball Ontario for coaching positions each year. The Members of the Coaches Selection Committee will interview all head coaching candidates each year prior to their selection as head coach. The Coaches Selection Committee will consider any coaches requests for team and player placement. However the committee acting in the best interest of the players and the GYBA will have the final say in this regard.
The Coaches Selection Committee will approve all assistant coaches and/or a manager. The selection of up to two assistant coaches and/or a manager per team will be done with the approval of the head coach. The assistant coaches and/or manager selected should have similar basketball philosophies as the head coach to generate a sound working relationship that will benefit the players.
All coaches selected must meet the minimum NCCP certification requirements of Basketball Ontario and be familiar with and adhere to the current Basketball Ontario coach's manual.
Subject to the approval of the head coach the committee reserves the right to assign a development coach to any team.
