DIRECTOR OF BASKETBALL

Dan Bungard

"I love the Hibiscus Coast; its people, its community, the schools and the sporting institutes. These have provided opportunities for me that I am truly appreciative of and now I feel it’s my responsibility to continue to provide those same opportunities to the next generation, our future generations.

It all starts with the fundamentals. Coast Basketball is the fundamental base for kids on the Hibiscus Coast to start their journey. It’s important, not only for the kids to learn basketball and become better athletes, but to grow into successful young adults and learn the important aspects of being part of a team. Continuing to build on these foundations, I believe, will provide pathways and opportunities to your child through the world of basketball.

The team and I look forward to working with your child to develop their talents further, provide a valuable growing environment and have some fun!"
