Tralee Magic BC is committed to supporting our dedicated coaches and this season is no different.

We are starting it off with a coaching clinic, led by two very accomplished coaches - John Dowling, Head Coach of the Superleague and National Cup champions Garvey’s Tralee Warriors, and Ignas Šijanas.

Ignas has recently been appointed Director of Coach & Player Development for Tralee Magic BC.

This is a pivotal role with the responsibility for the overview of the design, development and implementation of a pathway for the technical and tactical development of coaches and players alike.

Ignas has plenty of basketball experience, having been head coach of sides such as SV Fellbach, Stuttgart, Germany and KCYMS Killorglin. He has also played in Germany, England and Lithuania.

We look forward to catching up with Ignas over the coming weeks to find out more about him and his plans for the season.

The coaching clinic will cover:

- Fun functional movement basketball warmups

- Building transition

- Half court reads and cuts

It will take place Monday 22nd August in CBS The Green 8.00-9.30pm.

This is a fantastic opportunity for coaches to meet and work collaboratively as we move forward as a club and we hope all our coaches can attend.
