Rockhampton Junior Basketball 2017-2018

Under 12/14/16/18 Representative Coaching Application Form

The RBI Junior Committee is calling for nominations for Head Coach and Assistant Coach positions for the 2017/2018 Junior Representative Season.

2017 was a good season with a number of our teams competing in Division 1 at the BQ State Championships. We plan to build on this in 2018 by selecting a number of high quality people for the Head coach and Assistant coaching positions. Our vision is to have a team compete in Division 1 at State championships in all age groups and a second team in age groups where the player numbers are sufficient.

To be part of our program we encourage you to fill in the application form and return to the RBI office. Applications will be considered by a selection panel nominated by the Junior Committee. They will be responsible for short listing, interviewing (optional), and making final recommendations.
