We have over 140 kids signed up to play UPWARD basketball this year. That is a lot more than we expected. Because of the number of kids we had sign up we need more coaches than we originally thought.
Now you might be thinking to yourself "I have never coached basketball before. I don't even know where to begin." Let me use a common phrase today to help ease your fears. "There's an app for that." No kidding UPWARD has an app to help coach. UPWARD has a coach's resource page which has a link to their coach's handbook app. The website is www.upward.org/Site-Coach/Coach/upwardCoach.aspx?id=7872.
If you haven't coached before or if you have, UPWARD lays out each practice for you. The drills, things to say and devos are all supplied. (see picture below). You could even print out the pages if you wanted to go old school.
There is only one practice a week and one game on Saturday.
If you are interested in helping out come to one of our two coaches meetings tomorrow 6:15 to 7:30 OR 8:15 to 9:30 OR email upward@emmanuelbaptist.com.
