Coaches

HEAT Basketball Club

Hope Valley HEAT Coaches are more than basketball coaches — they are leaders, role models, and encouragers who help shape the experience of every player. Through coaching, they develop skills, teamwork, character, and confidence while building a positive team culture grounded in faith and integrity. As representatives of Hope Valley HEAT and Hope Valley Church, coaches have the opportunity to lead with purpose, reflect Christ in their actions, and create an environment where players feel supported, valued, and inspired both on and off the court.

We believe that Hope Valley Church and Hope Valley HEAT should be a safe place for all, especially the youngest and most vulnerable in our community. We are committed to creating an environment where the safety and welfare of children is paramount.

All volunteers who serve under the umbrella of Hope Valley Church and Hope Valley HEAT undergo a Working with Children Check (WWCC).

If you already have a current WWCC:

Complete Step One of the Safe Church Screening Process so that there is a record of people who are volunteering through Hope Valley Church.
Forward your WWCC Reference number (SRN-####-####) and the date of your check to the Church Office. These details can be found on your approval email from the DHS Screening Unit.
If you are unable to locate your original email from DHS, please go to this website and under 'Working with Children Check Registration Number' complete the steps and they will send you the information.

If you do not yet have a WWCC:

Complete Step One, Two and Three of the application below.
Forward your WWCC Reference number (SRN-####-####) and the date of your check to the Church Office. These details will be found on your approval email from the DHS Screening Unit.
