Revolution Basketball Club Coaching Staff

Coaching development is one of the mandates of the Revolution Basketball Club, which sends its coaches to Basketball BC's SuperConference and the annual Youth Coaches Summit in the fall. Here, coaches learn about Canada Basketball's Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model, which focuses on physical literacy, teaching fundamental movement skills and building overall motor skills, which are the building blocks of success in sport and life-long enjoyment of physical activity. Coaches come away with resources, ideas and practical games and drills to aid in basketball skill development.

The Revolution Basketball Club supports coaches as they become National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) certified, and provides mentorship in coaching development, shares resources and ideas, and offers assistance with practice planning. Revolution coaches strive to learn, grow and lead!

Coach Kate MacLeod

Coach Kate's philosophy is one of basketball and personal development, with a focus on fun. She believes that the goal of every program should be for its participants to leave the gym red-faced, having worked hard, smiling, after having fun, and wanting to come back, because they had a positive experience. She believes the development of physical literacy is essential, and that competence builds confidence.

Coach Kate began her coaching career as an assistant with Tom Elwood at Malaspina University-College (now VIU), with the 1998 National Champions. She moved on to work with Scott Clark and the Simon Fraser University men's team (2001-2006), before becoming the head coach of the Douglas College women's team (2006-2011). 

Coach Kate is currently the Director and Head Coach of the Westview Basketball Academy in School District 42 (Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows). The Westview Basketball Academy, established in 2017, welcomes student-athletes from across the district and around the world. 

Kate has coached many zone and provincial teams for Basketball BC, including leading the Zone 3 U13 Boys to a gold medal at the first ever 3/3 event at the BC Summer Games in July 2014, and guiding the U17 Girls BC team to a bronze medal at the National Championships in Regina in 2004. Kate is an NCCP Level 3 Coach, currently completing the Train to Compete competency in the NCCP's new Competition stream.
