So You’re Thinking About Coaching? Here’s Why You Should!
From the heart of a volunteer-led club 💙
At Tralee Magic, we’re proud to be a community-driven, volunteer-powered club – and we wouldn’t have it any other way. But here’s the simple truth: without volunteers, we don’t have teams. No coaches = no training = no games = no Magic.
Every year, we’re blown away by the energy, time, and heart our coaches give to their teams. But as our club grows, so does the need for more of you – parents, older siblings, past players, neighbours, basketball fans – to step onto the court and help keep the whole thing running.
So what’s involved?
You don’t need to be a basketball genius (promise!). We’ll support you with training – including covering the Basketball Ireland Intro to Coaching course – and provide resources to make life easier. The time commitment? A couple of hours a week for training and games. Not a full-time job – just a part-time passion.
What’s in it for you?
Loads. You’ll learn new skills, meet great people, and be part of something really positive in your community. If you're a parent, there's nothing quite like sharing your child’s sporting journey from the bench (in a good way!). Kids love to see their parents get stuck in – and it often helps them stay involved longer too.
You might even surprise yourself with how much you enjoy it.
So if you’ve ever thought: “I wouldn’t mind giving that a go someday…” – maybe this is your sign.
