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, including completing the Making Ethical Decisions course.  The Revolution provides mentorship in coaching development, shares resources and ideas, and offers assistance with practice planning. Revolution coaches strive to Learn, Grow and Lead!

Director and Head Coach Kate MacLeod
Canadian National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) Level 3 Coach  

Coach Kate's philosophy focuses on basketball and personal development. She is a strong believer in the power of developing grit, and coaching with a growth mindset and a focus on fun. Coach Kate hopes to develop and share a love of the game first, and 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 Vancouver Island University), with the 1998 National Champions. She moved on to work with Scott Clark and the Simon Fraser University Men's Basketball team (2001-2006), before becoming the head coach of the Douglas College Women's Basketball team (2006-2011). 

Coach Kate has coached many zone and provincial teams for Basketball BC, including leading the Zone 3 U13 Boys to the gold medal at the first ever 3x3 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.

A leader who gives back to the local basketball community, Coach Kate volunteered as the Sport Director for Basketball at the BC Summer Games, hosted by Maple Ridge in 2024.

Coach Kate is an NCCP Level 3 Coach, currently completing the Train to Compete competency in the NCCP's new Competition stream.

Coach Kate is an educator in SD42, with over twenty years of experience in public education. 

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.
