We are delighted to announce the addition of our fifth coach to the Helping Hoops ranks, Steve Bacash. Steve has been a volunteer with the organisation since late 2012, and has since volunteered at our Richmond and North Melbourne programs on a weekly basis.
When opportunities became available to fill in as head coach in both programs, Steve was the obvious choice, and has made the most of these opportunities by developing his already extensive skill set in a short period of time. We are proud of the way he has conducted himself and thrilled to be able to offer him the head coaching job at Richmond and North Melbourne on a permanent basis.
Steve enjoys interacting with the kids, the diversity of their personalities, the freedom he feels, and the love of the game shown by Helping Hoops kids. Steve refers to the program as “like a little family.”
“Kids need to be engaged in something that is positive, and we’re giving them an opening to be aware that there’s something more than what they have. That gives them more possibilities.”
We look forward to sharing Steve’s progress as we take Helping Hoops Richmond and North Melbourne forward into 2016 and beyond.
