    • Coach requests are honored until a team has 6 players.

Coaching & Volunteering

All coaches are unpaid volunteers who give their time to improve the lives of players and help develop skills in basketball and the art of teamwork and effort. Coaches are subject to a background check and are selected based on past coaching history and experience working with youth. No contact information is released until a background check is complete. Safety is a commitment we make to youth. You can volunteer at https://ymcatvidaho.volunteermatters.org/

Coaches:

Make sure to complete the full form through the online portal. This includes entering your birth date and social security number. Our background check process includes both a national and local review. The background check process takes 72 business hours.

Approved background checks are good for two years from initial approval. If you are unsure if yours has expired or will expire during the duration of the program please contact [email protected].

PRACTICES:

Practice times and locations are to be decided by each individual team. School gyms will be closed and unavailable for use by the YMCA. Outdoor courts are open to the public, and what we recommend you use.  Practice time and location must be shared with the YMCA before practice begins.

 

CONTACT INFORMATION:

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE. At the Y, no one is denied service due to the inability to pay. Funds for Financial Assistance are provided through the YMCA’s Annual Giving Campaign. Learn more here!

If you are pre-qualified for Financial Assistance, please note that some of our programs have minimum fees in order to cover costs of materials and supplies. This fee may be higher depending on your amount of assistance.

A SAFE PLACE FOR ALL. Keep up-to-date with our current Safety Policies.
