Senior Celtic Coach Peter Cunningham has returned from Canberra after a week-long observation of the Australian Institute of Sport's women's basketball team.The seasoned state junior representative coach was awarded an annual AIS coaching scholarship for a week of his choice at the institute. Only one coach in Australia is offered the chance each year. Cunningham was shocked to learn he was accepted, not knowing he was nominated by Country Victoria. Cunningham coached the Victorian Country under-18 girls for four years, except for this season's national championships in Ballarat. He has moved into a development role at the Ballarat Basketball Asssociation as a liaison between the association's junior representative squads through to the Lady Nuggets and Lady Miners.
Kym Cassells recently played her 1000th game - 486 of which were as a junior. In that time she has dropped 7119 points, as well as coaching many junior Celtic, BBA representative sides as well as her well known role as head coach of the Ballarat Community Health Lady Miners. On behalf of everyone here at Celtic and the broader Ballarat Basketball Community - we congratulate you Kym on your outstanding career as a great player, coach and ambassador for our sport.
