HoopLife Basketball runs basketball clinics for communities across Canada, a training centre in Regina, and our own training app with thousands of drills and workouts built by the same coaches. We have delivered 175 community clinics in every province except Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island and in all three territories. A clinic is two to four days in one community, coaching its young people, and most of the communities we visit ask us back.

Where you would go

We have run clinics in every province except Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island, and in all three territories: 175 of them so far, from Huu-ay-aht on Vancouver Island to Elsipogtog in New Brunswick, and from Igloolik in Nunavut to Siksika in southern Alberta.

What you would do

• Travel to a community for two to four days and run basketball clinics for its young people.
• Coach alongside one or two other HoopLife coaches. Nobody travels alone.
• Work with the school or the band office on the ground so the days actually run.
• Write a short report when you get home, on your phone, so we know how it went and when they want us back.
• Complete a criminal record check with vulnerable sector screening before your first trip. We walk you through it.

• Coaches and former players anywhere in Canada.
• Anybody who is happy to be away for a few days at a time and wants to choose when.
• People who live somewhere we have no posting for yet.

• You pick the trips. Nothing here is compulsory and there is no minimum.
