Below is information for our current and prospective traveling and in-house coaches. For information about coach development, drill ideas, and plays, visit our Coaches Corner here.
Most coaches in our program are volunteers. Adults interested in head coaching should express their interest during sign ups, or by contacting the Board at secretary@eaganhoops.org.
Interviews of head coach candidates are conducted by members of the Board as well as independent interviewers. The interviews are held in August. After the interviews, the coaching candidates are ranked. During tryouts, the independent evaluators will put the players into skill level pools. Coaches are selected based on the pool in which their child has been assigned. If more than one coach has a child in a given pool, the coach with the highest rating in the interviews will be designated the head coach for that pool level.
If you are interested in a head coach position for Eagan Basketball, please fill out the application below and send to secretary@eaganhoops.org.
