LANGLEY, BC, Dec. 11, 2023 – The Vancouver Bandits and Basketball BC announced Monday that the two organizations will jointly host a free-to-attend coaches clinic at Langley Events Centre (LEC) on Sunday, Jan. 7, 2024.
The clinic is open to basketball coaches of all levels and promises an afternoon of skill development, strategic insights and collaborative learning. The clinic is part of the Vancouver Bandits and Basketball BC’s ongoing commitment to growing basketball in British Columbia.
Earlier this month the Bandits and Basketball BC co-hosted a virtual seminar for 155 officials and coaches from across the province.

Interested members of the basketball community are invited to register for January’s coaches clinic by visiting www.thebandits.ca/basketball-resources.
The in-person clinic will run for three hours on January 7 from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. PT. All participants must register online to attend and receive relevant clinic information.
Instruction at the clinic will be facilitated by three household names from Canada’s coaching community; including current Vancouver Bandits head coach and general manager Kyle Julius as well as former Canadian senior women’s national team head coach Allison McNeill and assistant coach Mike McNeill.
The clinic will focus on skill development crucial for helping players grow and will feature insights on effective coaching strategies. The event will also include opportunities for attendees to engage with the instructors as part of a question-and-answer period.
