Your Coaches
As a registered Not-For-Profit (NFP) organization, underpinned by a volunteer Committee of Management, MC Magic is guided by clear policies and a shared value system across all members, teams and age groups.
We understand that no two players are alike. Our coaches strive to develop each player’s skills and foster stronger teams. Through nurturing teamwork, positive communication and imparting knowledge, our coaches support you to learn basketball skills, build endurance, discipline, and a strong character.
Squad Coaches
Squad coaches are the lead coaches of each age group, providing effective management and leadership to the entire squad, including all players, coaches, and teams. As the figure head of each program, our Squad Coaches spearhead the development and leadership of the entire squad, ensuring consistency in the delivery of the Magic Basketball Style of Play, and are responsible for planning and oversee weekly training sessions that provide progression, individual development, and team strategy.
