TRESEDER HEADS TO THE MOTHER LAND... urray Treseder has been appointed Head coach of the Great Britain men’s wheelchair basketball team. Treseder was the Head Coach of the MAustralian men’s wheelchair basketball team, the Rollers, since 2001. Australia is ranked number 2 in the world in men’s wheelchair basketball, while Great Britain have not been out of the top five at a major championship for the last 13 years. “We thank Murray for the contribution he has made to wheelchair basketball and, in particular, the Rollers,” Australian Paralympic Chief Executive Darren Peters said. “It is a credit to his coaching and the Australian wheelchair basketball program that he has been offered such a prestigious position in Great Britain. He goes with our best wishes for his new team.” Treseder formerly led the Rollers to a silver medal at the 2004 Paralympic Games and a bronze medal at the 2006 world wheelchair basketball championship in Amsterdam. He has also been the National Intensive Training Centre Program (NITCP) Head Coach for Western Australian for many years and has coached 99 Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL) games. “Murray has made a great contribution to basketball at many different levels in Australia,” Basketball Australia Chief Executive Scott Derwin said. “His work in the NITCP program has been outstanding in WA and we thank him for this work, as well as his contribution to the wheelchair program and the WNBL.” It is hoped that the elite, professional culture that Treseder brought to the Australian wheelchair basketball program will continue in his absence. Good luck Murray! NEW ARRIVAL... ongratulations to Bulleen Melbourne Boomers Head Coach Cheryl Chambers and husband Mark Holland Con the birth of their third child, daughter Georgia Matilda.

  • Little Athletics Australia Roll of Excellence 2010
    LITTLE ATHLETICS AUSTRALIA ROLL OF EXCELLENCE 2010 INFORMATION ON INDUCTEES George Harvey Volunteer A Queensland and Australian Little Athletics Life Member, George Harvey is considered by many as the patriarch of Little Athletics in Queensland. George first became involved in Little Athletics in 1975 as a founding member of Kenmore Little Athletics Centre and after gaining considerable experience at Centre level moved onto the Queensland State Board of Management, serving as President from 1979 to 1989 and becoming a principal driving force behind the Association during its formative years. From 1993 to 1996 George also served as the Chief Executive Officer of Queensland Little Athletics. For his contribution to the sport George was the first person to be awarded with Life Membership of Queensland Little Athletics and an award in his honour, the George Harvey Award, is presented each year to one girl and one boy who best demonstrate they embrace the ideals of Little Athletics. The criteria encompasses those attributes George himself believes are important not only in Little Athletics but also to any individual's growth and development. George has held virtually every position available within Little Athletics from Centre to national level, and was President of Australian Little Athletics from 1990 to 1994. Peter Wickes Volunteer Peter Wickes’ involvement with the Little Athletics NSW began in 1972. Over the past 38 years, Peter has provided valuable legal advice, administrative skills and coaching assistance through Club, Centre and Association levels. Peter was a Trustee of the Association prior to Little Athletics’ incorporation in 1988. During that time Peter provided wise counsel in all matters to the benefit of the Association, including the acquisition of the Association's first office premises in Parramatta.
