Dandenong Rangers invites applications from suitably qualified and experienced individuals interested in applying to coach for the Dandenong Rangers Junior Representative Program.
The Dandenong Rangers Junior program will enter girls and boys (U12, U14, U16, U18) teams in the Victorian Junior Basketball League (VJBL) competition, plus selected tournaments through the year. Applicants must display a strong understanding of this competition and how best develop a team and its individual athletes to succeed across the course of the season. You must be a resident of Australia and have a current Working with Children Check (WWC)
All applications must be on this form and complete to be a valid application. Please ensure you provide 3 preferences to give you the best chance of team allocation. The application for current coaches will be assessed based on the following:
- Previous experience and results
- What level you qualified your team in this season (If you are currently coaching representative basketball)
- Results from this season (If you are currently coaching representative basketball)
- Development of individual players
- Development of the team
- Communication and management of your team (including both players and parent group)
Please indicate any planned absences during tryouts and the season. It is important be aware that this may impact on selection.
Whilst it is our aim to complete the coaching positions as soon as possible, please note it will take us some time, this will ensure we have the right coaches who are already in the program in the correct roles as well as any new coaches who are applying, placed into the correct coaching roles. Age group head coaches will be selected first to allow assistance with the directors of coaching in placement of coaches for individual teams.
Please note that we will be prioritizing appointing coaches that do not have a family member in the team. If we have 2 applicants for a role with similar experience and one has no relatives in the team that coach will be given preference for the role. If the more experienced coach does have a family member in the team, we will make the exception.
Warm regards,
