We look forward Drill of the month 10 to seeing competitive games that are played in good spirit in the race to the 2012 title. Rick Smith CEO Upcoming Events 17 -18 August BWA Staff Profile SBL Semi-Finals Week One 24-26 August Name: Josh Farnworth SBL Semi-Finals Week Position: Development Manager Two Date Started: July 2012 29 August-9 September London Paralympics Josh recently moved to Perth from Melbourne and started at BWA as the Development Manager in July 31 August 2012. The role involves overseeing and supervising the Basketball Development pathway and associated Women's SBL Grand programs for coaches and players within Basketball WA under the guidance of the High Performance Man- Finals ager. Josh is a determined and capable young coach who has developed a wide range of skills whilst coach- ing at various levels over the past 10 years, having spent the last 3 years coaching with the Bulleen Boom- ers in Melbourne. He has always displayed a passion for the game as a coach and prior to that as a player having played for Nunawading as a junior. He is excited by the programs being rolled out under the new High Performance Program and is looking forward to contributing to the development of basketball in WA. Basketball Western Australia PO Box 185 FLOREAT WA 6014 6272 0741 [email protected] Super Clinic The inaugural Saturday Coaches Super Clinic was a fantastic success with over 70 metropolitan and country coaches taking part in the whole day extravaganza of coach education. Hearing from presenters such as CJ Jackson, Shawn Dennis, Kennedy Kereama and Alan Black, eager coaches of all levels were treated to expertise and some light hearted comedic relief along the way as well. The four coaches covered a broad array of topics from individual and team offen- sive/ defensive development through to conditioning of international athletes. Basketball WA Education and Training Officer Vlad Alava said the event was something that he was looking at running on a yearly basis. “To have the quality of presenters that we had come out and share their knowledge with the coaches in attendance was fantastic. We had coaches from domestic competition through to SBL and you would have been hard-pressed not to come away with some new piece of knowledge or another way of doing things. I will certainly be looking at making the Super Clinic an annual event especially with the support and how well it was received.” Advanced Coach Program Basketball WA is excited to announce in the coming weeks the launch of the Advanced Coach Program (ACP) in what is seen to be a landmark event for coach education in WA. The ACP will be led by Perth Wildcats Head Coach Rob Beveridge in its inaugural year and will see participants undertake elite coach educa- tion and training through completing a number of accreditations across a twelve month period. Coaches undertaking the program will complete a National Level 2 Basketball Accreditation or equivalent, Sports trainer, First Aid and nutri- tion courses. The aim of the ACP is to educate and produce high-calibre accredited coaches who are aligned with the State High Performance Programs. These coaches are envisaged to also be active coaches in the WABL/SBL competition with a willingness to contribute towards the BWA High Performance Development programs. More details will be avaliable in the coming weeks. WA U16 Boys Support Their Own Often Basketball is measured by results, but sometimes life is bigger than points on a scoreboard. Recently the WA Metro U16 Boys finished 6th at the Australian Junior Championships which is a great result for the team. However the team's thoughts were always on another team member back in Perth. Jalen Smith son of former Rockingham Mens Head Coach and State U16 Coach Jason Smith is being treated for Leukemia at Princess Margaret Hospital. Jalen was the biggest supporter of the team away sending messages of support to the boys and following all games on line. His inspiration was a big part of the teams motivation to do well. Upon return the team visited Jalen at PMH to present to him his own signed number 7 jersey and thank him for his support. Well done to Coach Alan Black and the team on preparing a strong group of young men on and off the court. BWA wishes Jalen all the best in his recovery. Results for U16 teams Congratulations to our WA Under 16 teams who competed in Tamworth, NSW in July. We are hearing great feedback on an enjoyable and successful tournament.

  • 25Th Anniversary of Mt Claremont Campus
    25th Anniversary of Mt Claremont Campus Dear Parents, Students and Friends of John XXIII College This week our focus has been the 25th Anniversary of the Mt Claremont Campus of John XXIII College. On the 15th November 1986, Archbishop Foley used this blessing as he opened and blessed the campus. I think the blessing is as applicable to the current staff and students of the College as it was for the staff and students twenty five years ago. ―Let us pray—Lord Jesus Christ, You said to your disciples: When you have found entry to a house, give greeting and say: Peace be to this house! May that peace come now upon this school; upon all who teach, study or work here. Make them strong in Your service; give them true liberty of soul. Fill the teachers with knowledge, wisdom and the fear of God. Give the students Your grace in full measure, that they may understand the truths that they are taught, ponder them in their hearts, and give witness to them in their lives. May your holy Name be ever held in honour. Bless these buildings and hallow them as we enter them. May the Angels of light ever dwell within these buildings and all who frequent them; for You live and reign for ever and ever. Amen‖ At the Mass to celebrate the anniversary we were fortunate to have two previous Chairs of Council - Mr Terry O‘Connor, Mrs Jenny Bourke and current Chair Ms Mary Woodford; previous Principal Mr Greg Clune with best wishes and apologies received from Fr Daven Day and Sister Denise Desmarchelier; 2 previous Business Managers - Mr Bob Niven and Mr Peter O‘Sullivan, current Business Manager Mr Des Hardiman and many other people who played a major role in the history and development of our College.

  • Media Release
    MEDIA RELEASE PERTH LYNX TO ENTER NEXT PHASE OF GROWTH The Perth Wildcats and Basketball WA wish to announce that the two organisations have come to an arrangement to transfer the Licence for the Perth Lynx back to Basketball WA for the 2020/21 season so as to commence the next phase of the redevelopment of the women’s pathway program. Five years ago Jack Bendat took ownership of the Perth Lynx to assist the women’s game to become more professional and sustainable at the national level and build a product and program that can provide for the aspirations of young female basketballers across the state to compete at the national level. Jack’s vision has been achieved as the team has gone from strength to strength playing off in four finals series, including a grand final appearance in its first year. The objective was always to support the women’s program to reach new levels of professionalism and provide a solid base to ensure the long term sustainability for the program. Basketball WA can now take a professional program and entrench it in the community basketball fabric to ensure its long term success. BWA CEO Rob Clement said “Basketball has a lot to thank Jack Bendat for and his investment and leadership in our Perth Lynx program has been exemplary, we now look to embrace our broader basketball community to consolidate the work done by Mr Bendat and the Perth Wildcats team to ensure the teams long term success and viability, we thank Mr Bendat for his leadership and contribution to the sport.” Basketball WA is now looking towards the 2020/21 season and working with a range of stakeholders to discuss the future structure of the program and look forward to making some announcements soon.
