Thank you for your enthusiasm as a Coach at Aztec Tigers Basketball Club.
Your commitment as a Coach will have an influence on the emotional, social and physical development of our children, which supports them to reach their on and off-court potential.
Please familiarise yourself with these resources, whether you are new or existing Coach. In addition to this, we highly recommend utilising our Team App Coaches Chat for further support and engaging in any training and development available to the club this season.
Do you have a resource that you use that is not listed here? We'd love to hear what works for you! Please share on our Coaches Chat on Team App or email the club. Thank you!
As one of our pride of Aztec Tigers volunteers, thank you for making it possible for our children to engage in the game that we love so much.
Concussion Policy
Please familiarise yourself with the Bendigo Basketball Association Concussion Policy and act accordingly at all times during training and games.
Skills Assessment
Please have a good look at our Skill Development Guide which covers all age groups. Once you have had a look at the guide, we also have the following documents available to you to print so that you can assess your players individually or as a team.
It might be a useful tool to assess the team early in the grading period, the middle of the season and again at the end of the season to track progress.
Thank you to Tim Firman for preparing the guide. Your work that you have provided has been invaluable to the club!
Please note: The document is saved as a landscape, so will need to be printed in portrait.
