The Louisiana High School Basketball Coaches Association recently announced on social media the creation of a mentoring program for coaches.

According to the post, the goal of the mentoring program is to help guide young coaches who are in their first head coaching assignment. The LHSBCA hopes the program will help any coach, experienced or inexperienced in a new head coaching position to be prepared to take on the new challenge.

The program is open to head basketball coaches with 1-3 years of head coaching experience. It is also open to emerging coaches, coaches who are a Junior High, 9th grade, 10th grade, JV, or Varsity assistant coach.

Mentor coaches, must have four plus years of experience as a head varsity coach, are needed to make the program viable. 

To participate in the program, coaches must actively participate in all mentoring calls and activities, make a one-year commitment and be an LHSBCA member.
