Youth Basketball Coach

Hoopstars is one of the largest and fastest-growing private youth sports organizations in the GTA. We create fun, engaging experiences that build confidence and lasting memories for the youth and families in our communities! We’re looking for energetic, enthusiastic, and kid-friendly basketball coaches to join our team! Our program starts with children from the ages of 2-10 years, and gets them excited about organized activities. At that age, it’s way more about fun and fist pumps than it is about winning. However, as players grow we focus on dribbling, passing, shooting, and teamwork. By the time they hit ages 5 or 6 we introduce them to scrimmages and then onto more competitive play thereafter. We continue to progress through to our older kids, who can be more focused on game-like situations and skill development.
