PRESS RELEASE
HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAM

Dear All

It is with some sadness as well as some well-deserved congratulations that we farewell three key members of our High Performance Team over the next month to further their careers and seek some new challenges in their life.

Our High Performance Manager – Brett Coxsedge has taken up an offer to return home and head up the High Performance program for Basketball NSW.  This is a wonderful opportunity for Brett and his family to return home and it is great that he will be continuing on in the Basketball Australia family. We wish Brett and his family well with their future endeavours and thank him for his tireless work to developing our sub-elite program, culminating with a wonderful win this year in the U18 Boys Championship.

In addition Keegan Crawford (Development Manager) has taken an opportunity to go overseas and develop his skills through the Canadian College system. A wonderful opportunity and a sign of how lucky we were to have Keegan’s skills and enthusiasm over the past two years. Both Rockingham and ourselves will miss his energy, enthusiasm and skills.

Finally, we also farewell one of our very long standing and dear staff members – Jackie Keepa (our Community Basketball Administrator).  Jackie has also worked tirelessly and closely with a majority of our State Team players, managers and family members as well as being the conduit for Basketball WA with our Country Community. Jackie has decided to retire from working full-time to enjoy the many other pleasures in life, outside of basketball! These will be big shoes to be filled and we know she will be extremely missed by so many.

We wish Brett, Keegan and Jackie all the best moving forward.

BWA has also moved to advertise several roles quickly so as to fill the gaps in our High Performance Program. Those interested in applying should refer to our website or Sportspeople.com.au to seek clarification of the roles and requirements of their positions.
