Travel Basketball Coach Based in Moncton

Location: Moncton, NB (In-Person)

Hours: By the trip. Most are two to four days, and you choose which ones you take.

Pay: $20 to $35 an hour plus bonuses, with travel, flights and living expenses covered

We run basketball clinics for communities right across Canada, and we are looking for a coach based in Moncton to run the ones near you. You take the trips that suit you, we cover the travel, and you are never on the road on your own.

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

Moncton sits in the middle of Atlantic Canada's First Nations. We have run clinics for Elsipogtog, and the North Shore Mi'kmaq, Wolastoqey and Mawiw communities are all within reach. This is a region where we have fifteen communities on our books and have only visited one, because nobody works out here yet.

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.

Who this suits

• Coaches and former players who want work that is not the same gym every week.
• Anybody who is happy to be away for a few days at a time and wants to choose when.
• People already coaching locally who want to add paid trips around it.

What you get

• $20 to $35 an hour plus bonuses, with flights, mileage, accommodation and living expenses covered.
• You pick the trips. Nothing here is compulsory and there is no minimum.
• A written plan for every clinic, so you are not inventing the days on the drive up.
• Work in communities that ask us back, which is most of them.

Questions people ask

As often as you want to. Trips are offered and you take the ones that suit you. Most are two to four days.

What does it pay?

$20 to $35 an hour depending on experience, plus bonuses, with travel costs covered.

Do I travel on my own?

Yes, some. These are multi-day clinics a long way from home, so we are looking for people who have coached or played at a good level. We give you the plan for every day.
