We deeply appreciate & love our volunteers! Friday Nite Basketball is the great program that it is because of our many dedicated volunteers committed to Friday Nite Basketball and kids in the community.

Parents - make a difference in the life of a child. If you don't have the ability (or time) to coach, an extra pair of willing hands makes a big difference.

Students - (high school, college & university) - here's an opportunity to earn community service hours, build your resume, grow as a coach and leader in your community.

The Needs - 

• Head Coach ... is in charge of everything that happens on the court.  This ranges from planning drills, games, activities, and leading the More Than  A Game talks (Athletes in Action spiritual curriculum)
• Assistant Coach ...  helps out the head coach in any way they need, such as with games, drills and supervision.  They also provide a fun and encouraging environment for kids to learn and plan
  
• Gym Parent ... plays a crucial administrative role in the gym and are often the first friendly face that kids and parents see at the gym.  Gym Parents are detail oriented as they sign kids in and out, do the name tags, and keep track of administrative details.
