Risk assessment (per venue)
A desk based assessor will assess your work and provide you with feedback. This step needs to be completed prior to your practical coaching assessment.
Once a desk-based assessor has marked your work, you will be required to upload your completed assessment paperwork onto the Basketball England e-platform (Module 5: Assessment Paperwork).
We strongly encourage you to work with your mentor who will support your coaching practice. You may wish to familarise yourself with the assessment criteria you will be assessed against when working with your mentor. This has been recently updated to take into consideration the principles of the Player Development Framework.
