Ryan McArthur

My philosophy for coaching centers on confidence, fundamentals, and joy. I focus on skill development—dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense—while creating a positive environment where mistakes are part of learning, it's OK to make mistakes if we learn. I emphasize teamwork, communication, and effort over winning. I try and celebrate hustle, improvement, and unselfish play. Most importantly my goal is to help each player believe in herself, support her teammates, and develop a lifelong love for the game.

Why coach for Tri-City Youth Basketball Association?

The support for a lifelong basketball fan that I see in this program is great. The help I recieve in both team managment and helping me be a better course through educational resources is amazing. For me to be a part of this community is something I'm very proud of.

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.
