Volunteer coaches needed for Bloomington youth basketball season

BLOOMINGTON—The Twin Lakes Recreation Center seeks volunteer coaches for the upcoming Spring 2025 season of Bloomington Youth Basketball.

Whether you’re an experienced coach or a first-timer, no prior coaching experience is required to get involved and positively impact young athletes in the community.

Volunteer coaches will lead coed teams for grades K-3 and a girls-only league starting in Grade 4. This season’s lineup also includes an exciting Middle School Boys’ League for Grades 7 and 8. Practices will take place once a week, with times scheduled between 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Coaches can choose their preferred practice time, offering flexibility for busy schedules.

The Spring 2025 season will run from January 27 to March 13, with games and practices at the Twin Lakes Recreation Center at 1700 West Bloomfield Road in Bloomington. Teams may play games on Saturdays to wrap up the season before Spring Break.

A mandatory coaches’ meeting and player draft will be held on Wednesday, January 8, at 6:30 p.m. at the Twin Lakes Recreation Center. This meeting will provide important information and set the stage for the start of the season.
