Female Coaches Wanted for Girls Basketball (5-10yrs old) (Honorarium Included) *ECOHOOPS BASKETBALL*
The Mission We are building a safe, fun, and empowering space for young girls (ages 5 to 10) to fall in love with basketball. Youth sports are often too toxic, male-dominated, and obsessed with elite status. We are throwing all of that out. As a dad with a daughter in the game, I am launching this Junior Girls program at ECOHOOPS to give girls in Mississauga a gym where they truly belong. To do this right, these girls need to see women like you leading the way. We focus on pure girl power and true connection. But we still build real skills. We use a sports science method called Ecological Dynamics. Think of it like learning to ride a bike. You do not read a manual. You hop on, wobble a bit, and find your balance naturally. We teach basketball the exact same way. The girls learn by playing, exploring, and having fun. Who We Need Young women (19 and older) ready to be a "big sister" to the next generation. Never coached a team before? That is a huge plus! We love coaches who are not stuck in the old ways of doing things. You only need to know the basic rules of basketball and love working with kids. University students, future teachers, or former players looking to give back. Women who want to create a safe, supportive, and fun gym environment.
