Need help learning game coaching?
We can provide game coaches (subject to availability) for new teams that do not yet have a qualified or experienced coach. Coaches supplied are most often senior referees and/or current Rep Players, who relate well to the players, know the rules and can teach the parents the rules and how to game coach.
After referees have been allocated to games, any available referees that have completed the HKBA game coaching program may be allocated to teams that require coaching assistance. Click here to request a game night coach.
