FAQ

This is a fully voluntary opportunity! We want to nurture the next generation of coaches and provide a chance for the youths to try being a coach of a team (Managing subs, giving instructions, leading the team and providing insights)

Yes, you can! If you get selected as a coach, we will match you up with a team for the competition period.

Preferably you will need to attend all the games. We are looking for passionate people for the game that want to give it a shot at coaching!

You will need to:

  • Set line-ups and manage player rotations.
  • Communicate clearly during timeouts and halftime.
  • Motivate players to give effort, stay disciplined, and believe in the team.
  • Resolve conflicts and encourage a positive team environment.
  • Design effective practice sessions with clear objectives.

Not necessarily! A good players doesn’t mean he/she is a good coach. Coaching is more than basketball skills.

 

  • Teaching ability: Can you explain concepts simply and clearly?

  • Game IQ: Do you understand strategy, spacing, timing, and how to read the game?

  • Leadership: Can you motivate, build trust, and earn players’ respect?

  • Communication: Can you give honest feedback without crushing confidence?

  • Adaptability: Do you adjust based on the team’s strengths and the situation?

Do not fret. We have a coaching clinic that will be hosted to teach you the fundamentals of being a great basketball coach. 

 

Basketball Clinic:

  • Basketball Terminologies
  • Basic Offensive Plays
  • Basic Defensive Plays
  • Why be a Coach

What do I get as a Coach?

As a volunteer coach, you’ll be given a unique opportunity to grow and gain hands-on experience in a supportive basketball environment. You’ll receive a coaching clinic conducted by a local basketball academy, designed to equip you with the tools and knowledge needed to lead and develop young players effectively.

Throughout the competition, you’ll take on the responsibility of coaching and managing your own team, giving you valuable real-world experience in leadership, strategy, and player development. We’ll also provide team jerseys for your squad and ensure media coverage highlights your involvement—recognizing your contribution and giving you exposure within the basketball community.

Coaching Clinic

A coaching clinic will be hosted by Wong Wei Long, Founder of Scholar Basketball Academy. During this clinic, we will cover basic offensive and defensive plays, solve basketball problems and learn what it takes to be a coach in Singapore.

Our competition aims to nurture and guide young potential coaches, providing an opportunity for young and aspiring students of the game (25 years old and younger). The knowledge and experience from Scholar Basketball Academy will be openly shared, guiding you to your journey of being a basketball coach.
