Hoops

Are Clubs Ripping-off Parents and Players

If Adelaide had more stadiums then the game could grow, more clubs could offer more domestic competitions and raise more revenue and more kids could get a chance to play, at different levels.
As coaches are volunteers, there will never be enough good ones, but the rest of this post is basically a fight about who gets to use the very scarce court resources in this town.
Instead of bitching about kids being excluded/or not coached, why not grow the cake, to give everyone a better chance of getting a slice? That means building more courts.

pasadena 63 and anon 203358, you sure can speak nonsense. You can't substitute whinging with actually making a contribution to the coaching shortfall. As 5067 said, you need the coaching skills to be able to coach. Parents are already making a considerable contribution by taking their children to the games,to training, buying their uniforms and paying the relevant fees for that privilege. What they want in return is for their children to develop their basketball skills. You can only do that by having a coach with the appropriate skills. I don't even think you read carefully the original post. 5067 was indicating that its not a fair situation where children are coached by people who have been talked into coaching or never coached before and here you are telling him to stop whinging and offer some help to the club. This is exactly the situation he is complaining about, the fact that people like himself without the appropriate skills are doing the job and the children are suffering for it.

Ask not what your club can do for you, ask what you can do for your club.
