Sackville Minor Basketball Association's mission is to teach, develop, organize, manage and offer youth players the opportunity to learn the fundamental skills of basketball while instilling important life-lessons and values such as character, team work, discipline, leadership, respect and sportsmanship.
Sackville Minor Basketball Association strives to create an environment that is fair, safe and open to everyone - and that also creates a sport experience that celebrates physical and ethical achievements. This is what we know as good sport and this commitment begins with our coach selection process.
Our sport and its coaches teach skills and strategy, and contribute to building character in youth. The future of our sport lies with great coaches and, as such, we are committed to recruiting, developing and mentoring the best coaches available and to ensuring they deliver programming that is fair, safe, effective and open to everyone.
New this year, Sackville Minor Basketball Association is working to become verified with Canada Basketball under their new verification program. It is a priority to establish our club as a provincial and national leader in the area of Safe Sport, as well as to demonstrate our commitment to excellence and best practices in organizational leadership. This work will allow us to drive positive changes and to provide the best possible experience for our coaches, our players and their families.
Whether a brand new coach or a returning coach with Sackville Storm, the association will be here to support and provide you with the tools needed to help you develop along your coaching journey. Coaches will be asked to register for RAMP when the season opens, and at that time we will be confirming the appropriate background checks, as well as providing the tools for coaches to enhance their knowledge and training in the following areas: Safe Sport, Mental Health In Sport, Understanding the Rule of Two and Emergency Action Plans.
We thank you for your interest in being such an important part of the Sackville Storm family and are looking forward to a year where our coaching community is stronger than ever.
