COACHING APPLICATIONS

Coaching plays a critical factor in the development and enjoyment every player has with their basketball season.  OBA is always looking for passionate, energetic, experienced coaches that love the game of basketball.  Our program needs both parent and non-parent coaches to be a success, and we look forward to hearing from you!

 

OBA is currently accepting Coaching Applications. Use the link below to complete the online coaching application.  Once your application is complete, it will be sent to the appropriate OBA Board member and they will contact you.

 

If you have any questions, please see our Coaching Coordinator contact information below.

Any practice scheduling changes, conflicts, or questions should be sent to our scheduler at OwatonnaBasketball@gmail.com.  It's very important that you contact us in advance if you are not going to use your reserved practice time.


Adding or Changing Calendar Events

Please do not change your practice schedule unless you inform our Scheduler via email at OwatonnaBasketball@gmail.com. Coaches are encouraged to trade practice times with another team if you can’t make a scheduled practice. You still must contact the Scheduler to inform us of the change.

Coaches, Parent Reps, and OBA Board Members have permission to add or change events on team calendars.

To Add an Event to your Calendar follow these steps:

  1. Login to the OBA website with your Sports Engine account.
  2. Click the Edit Mode/User Mode toggle switch in the upper right corner of the page.
  3. A gear will now appear above the list of Calendar events.  Click the gear to get a popup menu, then click "Add Event".
  4. On the "Add New Event" window, you must provide an Event Name (i.e. "Practice"), specify the correct time, and location is helpful.
  5. Click the "Create This Event" button at the bottom.  Your event is now added to the team calendar.

 

To Edit or Delete Events:

  1. Login to the OBA website with your Sports Engine account.
  2. Click the Edit Mode/User Mode toggle switch in the upper right corner of the page.
  3. Click the link to the event you wish to Edit or Delete.
  4. The Event will be displayed on your browser.  Use the gear to Edit or Delete as necessary.

Emailing your team

The roster on each team page contains the list of team players.  Those players are also tied to a Sports Engine account with their parents email address when they registered.  Through the website you can send emails to the entire team.

One benefit of this email solution is the families have flexibility to add/remove/change email addresses for their Sports Engine account without having to tell Coaches to change their distribution list.  The system will automatically send the email the address(es) tied to their account.

Coaches (and Parent Reps) are granted "Owner" permissions to their team sites.  With that permission you will see an Edit Mode/User Mode toggle switch in the upper right corner of the website now.

Coaches are considered part of the roster, so if you chose to send to ALL members, the coach(es) will receive the email too.

The screen shot below indicates the steps needed to send a team email.

  1. Login to the OBA website with your Sports Engine account.
  2. Select the "Groups" option under the yellow Admin button.
  3. Click the "Messages" link.
  4. Click the "Send Message to Group" link on the right side.
  5. The "Select Message Recipients" screen will appear.  Here select "All" to email the entire team.
  6. On the next screen be sure to provide a Subject of your email as well as a descriptive message in the Body.
  7. Click the "Send Message" button at the bottom when you are ready to send.

Player Information

The information collected for each player (i.e. phone numbers, emails, etc.) is available on a "Team Data" web page under each team.  Only the coaches and parent reps should have access to that page.  The Team Data page has an element with player name, parent name, phone number and email(s).

Clicking the Details link for a play will display all the registration data.  You can also click the Export CSV link to create an Excel document with the data.

Note: The screen shot says "Team Secured." That was the old page name. The location of the page is the same.

Adding Games, Scoring Games, and Stats

Please post your game scores on the website.  Coaches, Parent Reps, and OBA Board members have permissions to update the team pages, which include Games and Stats.

Add and Edit games from your Team Page: https://help.sportsengine.com/en/articles/12

To enter Game scores, you must login to the website and get to the game via the ticker tape on the home page or via your team page.  When you are viewing the game information, enter Edit Mode (this looks like a toggle switch in the upper right corner of the website).  Once in Edit Mode, you can enter the score via a Quick Score button or enter Stats.

If you wish to record stastics, there is some setup work involved.  The Sports Engine Help has information on how to do this.  You can choose which statistics categories to maintain.  For each game, the stats can be entered for each player.

The mobile app can also be used to enter scores and stats.

To score a game, click on the “pencil” in the upper right while viewing the game from the app.

Contact Red if you have questions.  If you are unable to update your game scores, feel free to text or email Red to make updates.
