Why coach for Tri-City Youth Basketball Association?

I come from a basketball family. I have 4 older siblings and we all played collegiate basketball. One of the keys to our success was playing youth basketball and learning to love the game at a young age. When my daughter and son decided to play and we were living in Port Coquitlam it was an easy decision to join TCYBA. I’ve always had the privilege to have great coaches in my life at all levels who dedicated countless hours for something bigger than them. I hope to inspire young kids to dream big and to set and chase their dreams with passion and to one day give back to the community they live in.

The Tri-City Youth Basketball Association (TCYBA) was formed in 1999 and is a volunteer-driven registered not-for-profit that serves the youth of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody (Tri-Cities), New Westminster, Burnaby and surrounding areas in British Columbia, Canada. Currently, we have well over 2000 players, from Kindergarten to grade 12, playing in various divisions including both competitive Elite programs and recreational play. We offer academies, camps, official's development paths and coaching clinics in partnership with various local, provincial and national partners. Open to both boys and girls, the club operates out-of-school gyms across the Tri-City area and strives to ensure all youth that want to enjoy the sport have an opportunity to participate. We believe that youth sport is critical to a child's development and the opportunity to build skills for both the sport and for life should be available to all of our community's youth.
