Some background to our process for selecting the coaches:
- Nominations were called for and applicants had to apply
- All former and current coaches (from the past three seasons) were emailed and invited to apply
- From there, all nominations were handed to the coaching committee who then worked through the applications to maximise the best possible combinations for our teams based on the nominations
With the uncertainty of restrictions in Sydney due to COVID, we will have flexibility with our program as we prepare for the tournament in February 2022. This flexibility will include when we run our JSC rep trials and when we are allowed to commence training based on NSW Government and NSWTA community sports guidelines.
The club believes, the process of getting the right coaches and the right people into the right areas is very important for the foundations of our junior program and our club values.
