Calling All Coaches — Get Involved and Make a Difference! We’re excited to get ready for another great season with City of Sanibel’s Storm Youth Basketball — but we can’t do it without you! We’re currently looking for enthusiastic and dedicated volunteer coaches who want to make a positive impact on the lives of our community’s children.
As we prepare for the season, we’re putting together a volunteer coach workshop to make sure you’re equipped with all the knowledge and tools you need. This workshop will include training on concussive injury awareness and prevention, compression-only CPR, and automated external defibrillator (AED) use in case of emergency. All coaches will be expected to sign their code of conduct paperwork and complete background screenings. We’ll also be organizing special events and activities, determining who needs background checks, assigning event responsibilities, and looking for additional ways to get more people involved in our programs. Storm Youth Basketball Season Highlights: Our leagues are for children in grades K–8, with a special Tiny Tots division (ages 3–4) for our youngest players. We’re currently accepting sponsor applications from community members and businesses who wish to sponsor a team or contribute to this growing and rewarding community tradition. Financial assistance is available for families who may need help with registration fees. Awards are made on a sliding scale based on income — please submit a completed application if you wish to apply Staying Transparent and Collaborative: We’re proud to track and share monthly and annual data related to our recreation programs — from revenue and memberships to activity participation — to aid in continued delivery of high- caliber services for our community.
