Geelong Venom have made a significant move in their pursuit of a successful season coach Cheryl Chambers as their new head mentor. A respected figure in Australian basketball, Chambers is a three-time WNBL Coach of the Year and brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record to the Venom.
In a statement released , President Sarah Johnson expressed her enthusiasm for the appointment, labeling Chambers a “natural fit” for the team. “Cheryl’s extensive experience and success in the league make her the ideal choice to lead us forward. We believe her vision and coaching style align perfectly with our goals for the upcoming season,” Johnson stated.
Chambers, who previously led the Dandenong Rangers and the Sydney Flames to notable success, has expressed her excitement about joining the Venom. “I am thrilled to be a part of Geelong Venom and to have the opportunity to work with such a talented group of athletes. My goal is to foster a competitive and collaborative environment that pushes everyone to reach their highest potential,” she emphasized.
The Venom, who have set their sights on making the finals this season, aim to build on last year’s performances, where they showed glimpses of their potential but fell short in the playoffs. Chambers’ strategic mindset and ability to develop young talent will be crucial in steering the team toward their aspirations of a championship run.
Fans and players alike are anticipating a fresh start under Chambers’ leadership, and the club plans to hold a meet-and-greet event soon to introduce her to the community. With pre-season training on the horizon, there is a palpable sense of optimism and excitement surrounding the new chapter in Geelong’s basketball journey.
As the season approaches, all eyes will be on the Venom to see how they harness Cheryl Chambers’ expertise to elevate their game and make a strong bid for their inaugural finals appearance.
