Basketball
We are extremely excited to announce that Ross Wignell and Greg Jeffers will be returning as coaches for St Helena Secondary College’s 2022 Basketball Academy.
In 2019 we launched the Basketball Academy program in partnership with Ross Wignell. He has continued in this role in 2020 and we look forward to utilising his expertise in 2021. Ross has been the catalyst behind the program and his extensive coaching experience has been extremely valued by our athletes. Our athletes speak very highly of Ross, they absolutely love being coached by him and they develop holistically under his guidance.
In 2020, Greg Jeffers was added as a coach to the program and he has been a valuable asset to the program. His experience coaching in the Victorian Championship division of VJBL has already transferred to our athletes and their development has been amazing to see.
St Helena Secondary College began with a strong sporting tradition in 1984.
The St Helena Sports Academy aims to develop skills in our students that will encourage lifelong learning, allowing them to connect and interact with the real world as active and responsible global citizens. Upon completion of the program students will not only have developed as an athlete, but as a well-rounded individual with options, dignity and purpose.
Students involved in the Netball Academy will participate in four sessions per fortnight, held before school hours.
This is a co-curricular program that is additional to the standard curriculum program. The sessions will focus on:
- Technical Skill Development
