BASKETBALL Ballarat has revealed who will helm its youth league men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams.<\/p>\n

Former Bacchus Marsh women\u2019s CBL coach Grace Bibby and former assistant coach at the youth men\u2019s team Kyle Slack will step up into the roles for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

Bibby, who has previously worked with the junior Miners program, said she is excited to be back in Ballarat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved my time here as a junior player and coaching VJBL a few years ago,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s great to see those girls I coached then are still playing and vying for spots in the youth league team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am looking forward to the challenge of coaching at a higher level and I can’t wait to work with Dave Herbert, his assistant coaches, and the Basketball Ballarat team to continue to grow the women\u2019s program and also as an individual.\u201d<\/p>\n

Slack takes over the head coach position of the youth men after helping guide the team towards a finals position last year, before the season was cancelled due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really happy to be back with the Miners program this year and stoked to be able to take on the head coach position,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are forming a really solid squad with a lot of exciting young talent so to have the opportunity to coach and develop this team is a huge opportunity that I can\u2019t wait to jump into.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year was a tough year with COVID however the squad was still able to have some really good success throughout the year and we will look to build upon that in 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both teams will tip off the Big V Youth League on Saturday, 26 March at Selkirk Stadium, with the women facing Altona at 6pm and the men taking on Keilor at 8pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
