New Basketball Australia Coach Development Framework

On the 16 February, Basketball Australia launched its new national Coach Development Framework (CDF) – designed to provide flexible learning options and consistent support for coaches across the country.

Developed through extensive consultation with the basketball community and supported by the Game Development Levy, the Framework recognises that no two coaching journeys are the same – whether someone is coaching Ford Aussie Hoops, leading a local club team, or working at representative level.
