1. Craigieburn Eagles are pleased to announce the appointment of four quality Big V Coaches for the 2015 Season.
The Youth League Women will again be coached by Laura Janes next season. Laura has been an inspiring mentor to the Eagle’s program and in particular, this group have taken huge strides forward under her wings. We believe the past two years of hard work and dedication will continue to translate into our on court performance.
We would like to welcome back Rod Sweeny as he returns to the Nest as the Women’s Head Coach. With over 24 years of basketball history in his pocket, ranging from Head Coach to President, Rod’s exceptional knowledge of the game will be an advantage in the development of the women’s program. Rod will also work with Laura to mentor the talented junior players as they progress into the women’s roster.
The youth league men are a young side who came together in leaps and bounds during the last season. Having contributed greatly to the team as Assistant Coach for the past four years, as well as coaching various Representative sides, Anthony Boland will be looking to consolidate and improve on last year’s performance as he takes on the role of Youth League Men’s Coach. Anthony’s passion and commitment to the game is certainly an asset to the Eagles.
Another dedicated Eagle, Dennis McNamara, has been reappointed as Men’s Head Coach. Dennis has being involved in the Craigieburn program at all levels for many years and is looking forward to continuing to further develop the Men’s team. Dennis’ appointment provides stability and consistency to the Men’s program and together with Anthony, will continue to provide support and encouragement for our juniors on the pathway into the senior program.
We warmly welcome all our Senior Coaches and look forward to supporting them as we continue to build a strong culture throughout both senior and junior ranks and look forward to a competitive and successful season.
