WBCA announces 2020 ‘So You Want To Be A Coach’ Class

Release from the WBCA:

The Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, in partnership with WeCOACH, is pleased to announce the class for the 18th annual “So You Want To Be A Coach” program. Each member will participate in the three-day workshop with speakers provided by WeCOACH on April 2-4 in conjunction with the WBCA Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The objectives of the “So” program are to increase the understanding and application of skills necessary to secure coaching positions in women’s basketball, increase the understanding and awareness of competencies necessary for success in coaching, introduce female basketball players to coaches and administrators, and raise awareness of the existing talent pool of female basketball players who have a passion and interest in coaching the game of women’s basketball.

“ ‘So You Want To Be A Coach’ is the longest-running education program the WBCA offers, and it remains as popular with member coaches and student-athletes today as it was when it began,” said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew. “ ‘So’ is the entry point for women’s basketball players who want to coach. Because of their participation in it, hundreds of former college women’s basketball players are working or have worked as coaches or in some role in our sport. Our partnership with WeCOACH enables us to make this program even better.”
