Geelong United Basketball 2020/21 VJBL Coaching Cohorts Announced

We would like to congratulate the following Coaches for their selection to be a part of the Geelong United Basketball VJBL Coaching Cohort for the 2020/21 Season. We are thrilled to have so many great Coaches on board to help guide the next generation of Geelong’s junior Basketball talent.

As we prepare for the resumption of Representative Basketball in Victoria, the cohort of Coaches will be actively involved in team trials and the selection of individual teams. Within this, these Coaches will then themselves be chosen from their respective cohorts to guide their team for the 2020/21 season.

We are extremely pleased with the response we received for Coaching Applications this year. It is a testament to how engaged our community is in making sure that Junior Athletes have the best opportunity to grow and learn as both students of the game and as leaders in everyday life. We believe that this talented group of Coaches will hold us in good stead for the continued development of our game moving into the future.

As an indication of collaboration between all levels of Basketball in the area, we at Geelong United Basketball are delighted with the breadth of Domestic Coaches and clubs-people who have put their hand up to take on the rewarding challenge of coaching these Representative Athletes.
