Welcome to our new Coaching Director

The Cougars Committee is proud to introduce our new Coaching Director – Charlie Fyffe.

A bit about Charlie…

Charlie has coached basketball at a junior and senior level for over 20 years, including being involved in the State Development pathway with Basketball Victoria.

Charlie currently coaches at Knox Raiders in the NBL1 program, which he has done for the past four years. He is also Head Coach of the 18&Under Girls Team Vic School Team.

Charlie is a High School teacher who runs a basketball Academy out of Lilydale High School.

His role here at Cougars…

Here is a snapshot of what Charlie will be doing here at Cougars:

• Supporting our coaches – both new and experienced
• Attending training sessions and games
• Running Coaches Clinics & Courses
• Running Skills Clinics for our players
• Rolling out the new Cougars Cubs program for beginners.

We are very lucky to have someone of Charlie’s calibre join the Cougars to share his vast knowledge and experience with our coaches and players. We ask that coaches, parents and players engage and welcome Charlie into the Cougars community. 

Only good things can come from this opportunity – Hear the Cougars call…!
