My senior project will consist of myself and my friend

consist of of getting a randomly selected team that has a
mixture of kids in the grades 6th to 8th. There are about
eight to nine team in the organization that play their

over the weekdays. There are team pictures, a NYBA
allstar team, and at the end of the regular season there is
a tournament.

tasks already completed, and materials or sources procured.

I have participated in the association before and played on a team the was
coached by senior in highschool that did this for their senior project.

person willing to sign the mentor contract and also provide proof of completion documentation

I have currently not contacted the NYBA association to confirm my permission.

4. Task Analysis: After talking with your mentor, develop a timeline that lists all the tasks
you must complete in order to finalize your project by the due date. The timeline should include
anticipated completion dates for each task. If you are raising money for a charity, you must indicate

account at the bookstore.

Coaching a NYBA team will give me some leading skills for future times.

1. It will allow me to see how well I can coach a team of younger children and see how well I
will be able to communicate with them.

2. It will test my basketball knowledge and pretty much just my overall knowledge with leading
a team to do their best

3. It will also test my communication skills with the parents of the children on my team and see
how well I will be at giving information out.
