TCL coaches young players in The House League and develops them in The Lab. Coaching hours are hard to come by in Rwanda, and we are building a coaching staff rather than filling shifts.

There are two ways in.

1. If you already coach. FERWABA or FIBA certification, or real experience in a programme we can look up, and you can join as a paid coach. Bring what you have and we will talk about where you fit.
2. If you are starting out. Come in as an assistant coach, unpaid, working alongside a paid coach on the floor. You take a group, run a drill, and learn the job from someone doing it. When our Technical Director is satisfied you can coach, you get paid to coach.

Everyone is screened first, both doors. Our Technical Director assesses every person who ends up on a court with our young players. That is a conversation before your first session, not a formality afterwards. Coaching children is something TCL certifies rather than assumes, and we would rather be slow about who gets that access than casual about it.

This one asks for consistency. Unlike our volunteer roles, coaching is not drop-in. Young players are developing against a plan, and that only works if the same face turns up. Expect to commit to a season.

You are never alone with a group. Assistant coaches work with a paid coach on the floor, always.

Under 18 and want to coach? The same two doors apply, and the same screening. Younger coaches are placed with younger players, which is the Technical Director's call.
