Due to the rapid growth of our Basketball club we are looking for an Assistant Coach to help continue the forward momentum of the Ribby Hall Jets.

We are looking for someone with a background in Basketball with coaching experience to help coach our two men's teams. We are also more than happy to speak with anyone wanting to get involved in coaching for the first time. This is not a playing position.
