New Coaching Certification
NCCP certification is no longer a requirement of Basketball Alberta for a coach to take a team to Youth Provincials. It has been replaced with CCCP (Community Coach Certification Program).

Game Day
- You should arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled game time to be sure that all preliminary duties are met (so the game can start on time).
- Come with a list of your players in numerical order for every game.
- Pre-arrange before every game to have a scorekeeper or timekeeper ready to volunteer.
- If you are the home team, fill in the score-sheet before arriving at the gym. (List all players and then at half-time of the game note which players are absent or injured). In the seeding round the upper or left hand team is home.
After the game there are some requirements that have to be performed before your duties are over for the week. The end of the game is not when you can turn your mind to personal matters.
- Firstly as a courtesy to the next team have your players clean up the bench area. Pick up beverage containers, etc. Wipe up wet areas and then leave quickly so that the next team can begin their preparations. Hold your team meeting outside or in a corner away from the baskets.
- Next, if you are the winning coach, you are required to phone the 24-hour voicemail box immediately and report the results of the game (691-5696). Note that the game number and points scored by the winning and losing teams have to be reported.
- In addition to phoning the result to the voicemail box, the winning coach must also fax or mail the score sheet to the CMBA office within 48 hours. (Fax 235-4645)
