Youth Basketball Coach

Coaches Wanted For Pro Skills Basketball

Pro Skills Basketball (PSB) is the premier national youth basketball organization in America, and we are looking for coaches to lead our club basketball teams in Houston, TX for the upcoming 2026 Fall Season! Coaching with PSB typically consists of practices 1-2 times per week with league and/or tournament games scheduled on weekends. PSB cities oftentimes have teams for boys and/or girls at the elementary, middle and high school levels, with teams consisting of kids at advanced, intermediate or beginner skill levels. Coaching with PSB is a paid, part-time hourly role that is great for experienced coaches who are looking for additional basketball opportunities, recent college graduates seeking their start in the coaching world, or anyone with a passion for hoops that wants to make a positive impact on the youth in their community.

PSB is a member of the Jr. NBA Flagship network, which means the NBA has designated us as one of the "18 best-in-class youth basketball organizations that share the Jr. NBA's vision for how the game should be taught and played at the grassroots level and have committed to pursuing the highest standard of operation in the industry. This includes adhering to NBA and USA Basketball Youth Basketball Guidelines, implementing coach licensing requirements, providing resources to educate coaches and parents, and a continued commitment to improving the overall youth basketball experience."
