SA Junior Coaches 2014/2015

So with trials coming up in the next couple of weeks is there much movement or any announcement of coaches for next year?

Pete Berry and Sapwell I think. Maybe Pete's brother who might have coached at Norwood for a little while as well?

I assume the poster is referring to Pete who has actually been there for a while now. Last I heard he is now coaching the under 18s.

Why are so many coaches leaving Norwood? Rumour is most of their Div 1 boys coaches are not going on. That on top of the one who already left.

Is that a bad thing though? Norwood seem to be going backwards and backwards. It's time we had a clean out.

Nice try but the problem is it's the wrong coaches. Norwood always seem to be good in under 16 and Under 18 Boys but they are the coaches who keep leaving.

You lost your Under 18 coach and now the coach who replaced him who won State Champs is leaving as well.

If you want to clean out the crap then fine but it's your best coaches who keep leaving.

Isn't the new 18s coach on the new committee? That seems pretty strange!!

A few seasons ago one club was lampooned for preparing a "prospectus" on their Div 1 coaches going into trials. Seems that is now arguably the best benchmark.

Willie J has been outstanding in his search for quality coaches at Norwood. Thenew season line-up at Norwood will be even better than previous seasons. The introduction of the shuffle offence and coaches who can deliver will help.

Nope, they have been at 1 club for 4 years and this is the club I was at many, many years ago.

However, nothing wrong with validating whether we are in the right environment. We make a large cost and time commitment and want to know we are getting value for that commitment. Why would I expose my kids to anything other than what is best for the development and wellbeing???

It would be great if clubs could publish more information on their coaches that I am going to entrust my kids to.

Clubhopper..you epitomise the 'me first' attitude that seems to permeate some individuals much to the detriment of the sport..

Surely you realise by now if the 'environment' of your current Club is suitable and has adequate systems and results to satisfy your lofty standards.

To demand that Clubs should announce all Coaches for the upcoming Season whilst still in the throes of the Winter pointy end , just further demonstrates your selfish nature

Have you tried to meet with the Club JDO and discuss any of your concerns?
Or just hopped on here to criticise Club protocols in place to protect all current Coaches and players under their care?

To hell with that lets just pander to your wishes..you are the one with the fistful of dollars after all.

Good luck with your kids developing any loyalty or love for the game..more mercenaries in the making

Because the coach currently does D3 means what? he can't coach? maybe check his teams records - he coaches U18 as well. Maybe he will be introducing the Triangle Offence and Norwood will be the next Bulls

I agree with clubhopper. I have two kids playing repball in VIC, and committing to a full year program in a VJBL team without knowing who the coach for their team is a huge leap of faith.

The coach is a huge factor in their full year in the sport.

If you hope for a "good" coach for your kids our strike rate has not been great.

One of my kids is 2/6, the other 4/6.

Then again, if I look across the association we are currently at, there are probably only 3 "good" team coaches in the whole program so we have done better than most!

It does. They have the hardware to prove it. In 15 years I have seen very few people able to get kids that nobody wanted to play basketball well above what was ever expected of them. If being able to do that and get the kids to buy into playing TEAM first basketball isn't what coaching is all about then yes, Norwood have made a bad choice. But I'm fairly sure that's exactly what you would be looking for. . .

942 - none of your business.. If you want to know you missed trials so you will have to wait until next year or go to every year level 1st game to find out..... There is no rule saying you need post them and Sturt has done very well thank you very much doing it their way before you make comments on what everybody else is doing. Besides no distractions needed heading in to Finals….. Sturt will have probably personally emailed all trial people with the head coaches details and started the ball rolling for them and existing players will be informed of squads in due course dependent on finals. What is the issue again…..No need to ask...

LOL on par with Sturt. Maybe once, for a brief period, they were even better, but that was well over over a decade ago! It's been a gradual decline over 10 yrs.

I agree though with the above.

Norwood has good, structured and leadership in place and is putting things in place to take them forward. Clubs don't become successful overnight and don't fail overnight. Norwood's current junior results are a reflection of past efforts whereas what they are doing now won't be reflected for a few years yet.

Based on Norwood U16 div 1 results Fort is a pretty bad coach!

Reply #527168 | Report this post


Norwood U16s div 1 failed Summer season, and started Winter with 3 losses and 1 draw. I've went out to many games and their offense was terrible. The so called triangle offenses just isn't working, in fact their was barely any structure.
I doubt Norwood have any good training sessions.
It's obvious that Norwood need to do something, at least for next season. Maybe take a lesson that a div 5 coach from another club can't take a div 1 coach straight away?
Stats don't lie! Norwood have some great players except they can't manage to play together. They don't seem to be motivated enough to for Fort.
