JANET HEPPELL, DIRECTOR & HEAD COACH
Janet started coaching junior high boys’ basketball over 15 years ago and things have taken off from there contributing to club, high school, provincial and competitive summer programs.
​
"My first coaching experiences often involved building programs from the ground up, developing first time players into competent athletes. These early years played a huge role in developing my approach to coaching and overall coaching philosophy." Coaches have to focus on developing their players, to teach, push and help the athlete be ready for the next level…to strive to have them reach their potential
.
Went on to coach community club U16 girls, and a couple of years of U10 girls. This experience led to being asked to coach for Basketball Nova Scotia for the next four years including the 2016 u15 girls’ team, placing 6th at Nationals.
​
Many of my athletes, from club, school and provincial teams, have gone on to play USport or ACAA basketball.
