Coaching Jobs at HoopLife Regina: What the Season Looks Like

Coaching at HoopLife in Regina this fall means running weekly skills sessions, coaching a HoopLife League team through its ten-week season, and being on the floor for camps and Young Stars classes, all inside one facility. It is in-person work, evenings and weekends, full-time or part-time, and it is built around the sessions and league nights actually on the schedule right now, not a generic gym job.

What is a coach actually running this season?

Right now the HoopLife Centre in Regina is running Fall Young Stars for ages 3-4 and 5-6 on multiple days of the week, Beginner and Advanced Skills Training sessions in three age bands, Girls Only sessions, 3x3 sessions, and a full slate of HoopLife League divisions: Boys 3x3 grades 1/2 and 3/4, Boys 5v5 from grades 5/6 through 11/12, Girls 3x3 grades 1/2 and 3/4, and Girls 5v5 grades 5/6 and 7/8. The Adult Co-Ed Rec League runs its own night. A coach on staff is typically in more than one of these across a week, not locked into a single group.

A league coach runs the same division every week for the ten-week season: the opening training block, then the games, then the same group again the following week. That repetition is the actual job. You are not meeting new kids every session, you are watching the same players get better and adjusting your practice plan for what they need next. Anyone weighing this against the day-to-day of a session-only role can see the difference laid out in coaching a HoopLife League team.

What does the work actually look like week to week?

Weekly skills sessions are one hour, split into Beginner and Advanced groups, for ages 7 through 17. League nights run longer: a division's night includes the coached training block plus the games themselves, so a coach is on the floor for the full block, not just the game portion. Camps add full or half days when school is out, with skill work in the morning and real games in the afternoon. Young Stars classes for the youngest kids are short, 30 minutes to an hour, and built entirely around keeping a 3 to 6 year old having fun with a ball in their hands.

Across a week that adds up to a real mix: a Tuesday of Girls Only sessions, a Thursday of Skills Training across three age groups, a Saturday morning of Young Stars followed by open gym, and a league night carrying both the training block and the games. Hours run 15 to 25 a week part-time or up to 40 full-time, and it is evenings and weekends throughout, which is when Regina families are actually in the gym.

Who does HoopLife hire, and what do they pay?

The posting is looking for coaches who are mid to senior level: skilled players with real experience, in good enough shape to demonstrate drills themselves, comfortable leading both a beginner group and an advanced one, and comfortable talking to parents about which group actually fits their kid. NCCP certification counts in your favour but is not required. Pay is $15 to $25 an hour based on experience, and staff get 24/7 gym access at the facility along with three weeks of vacation.

The facility itself is worth knowing before you apply. HoopLife Centre has a full regulation hardwood court, a premium scoreboard and shot clocks, and it is the only gym in the city with six adjustable hoops, which matters directly for anyone coaching Young Stars or the youngest league grades on hoops set to their height. It is one gym, one set of coaches, running all of the above out of the same building at 661 Solomon Cres.

How do I actually get a spot on the team?

New coaching spots at HoopLife in Regina do not sit open for long. Coaching roles here fill the same way our programs do: they are popular, and once a season's roster is set that is the roster, so if this sounds like your gym, get an application in rather than waiting to see. Apply through the Basketball Coach posting, with a resume and a short video cover letter showing how you'd actually coach a session. Every other open role across the country, including the travel clinic coaching jobs, sits on the careers page if Regina isn't the fit but coaching is.

Frequently asked questions

The questions below are the ones a Regina coach usually has before applying.

Do I need a coaching certification to apply?

No. NCCP certification is a bonus at HoopLife in Regina and shows you are already moving toward professional coaching, but it is not required to be considered for the Basketball Coach role.

Is this full-time or part-time?

Both are open. Part-time runs 15 to 25 hours a week and full-time runs up to 40, and both are built around evenings and weekends, since that is when HoopLife's sessions, league nights and camps actually run in Regina.

What age groups would I be coaching?

Anywhere from Young Stars ages 3 to 4 through HoopLife League grades 11/12, plus adult league nights, depending on how the season's schedule is staffed. Most coaches end up across more than one age band and format in a given week.

How much does it pay?

HoopLife Basketball in Regina pays $15 to $25 an hour for the Basketball Coach role, based on experience, plus 24/7 gym access and three weeks of vacation for staff.
