What is the Role?

As part of an energetic and enthusiastic team, work with the Sport & PDHPE departments to help to deliver our Secondary School Sports Program for the 2025-2026 season through basketball coaching. Coaches need to be available for midweek training and competition games on Saturdays.

Training after school (3:30pm - 5:00pm) is mostly held at Sydney University. Sydney University is also the home venue for competition, with away locations varying from week to week.

The 2025-2026 basketball season will commence with training and selections in late August and competition commencing in October. The basketball season ends in March 2025.

Who will the successful applicants be?

• We’re looking for you to bring specialist knowledge and experience as well as passion and enthusiasm to coach and mentor in a school sport environment
• Will ideally hold a minimum Club Coach accreditation in basketball and/or relevant experience in youth basketball

• You need to model the St Andrew’s Cathedral School values and behaviours and uphold the Independent Sporting Association Code of Conduct
