With events held across the country to celebrate coaching, National Coaches Week provides coaches with the recognition they deserve for the time they devote to ensuring Canadians live an active, healthy lifestyle.


Basketball in Manitoba would not be possible without our base of wonderful and dedicated coaches we have!  Every one of you plays a major role in shaping our community for the better!  We are asking ALL basketball players in Manitoba, current and former, to take a few minutes this week to connect with their coach and tell them what their involvement in your life has meant.  Pick up the phone, send an email or a text, connect on social media or in person and THANKS COACH!
