Tillsonburg Youth Basketball
Purpose of Tillsonburg Youth Basketball
The primary goal of Tillsonburg Youth Basketball is to keep kids active while having fun. Children enrolled in the program will learn the basics in:
Body motion,
Basketball skills and
Basketball rules
While enrolled each child will be provided a team shirt and appropriately sized basketball.
Organizers
This program is fueled by hard work from volunteers in the Tillsonburg and area community. The coordinators of the Tillsonburg Youth Basketball program are Lance Mackenzie and Jesse Goossens.
Volunteers
We are always looking for additional volunteers to help coach! We encourage parents to get involved by helping coach a team. Our general approach is to have multiple coaches for each team to provide flexibility with regards to attendance. Multiple coaches also helps when demonstrating basketball skills.
If you are interest in becoming a volunteer we do require a police check to be in compliance with the Ontario Basketball Associations insurance policy.
