The WBCA looks to its member coaches to provide direction for and assist with the conduct of its programs and events, to promote and distribute information about the association and sport, and to choose recipients for the most prominent coach and player awards presented in women’s and girls’ basketball.
Volunteer opportunities may require only a limited amount of time – such as responding to a series of short e-surveys – or may require a multi-year commitment of service on a committee. Regardless of how a member coach may want to participate, we will find a role for them. With their help, the association’s voice is made stronger and its ability to affect and promote the sport becomes more powerful.
Here are ways to volunteer. Complete and return the volunteer interest form if you wish to be added to our pool of volunteer candidates.
