Basketball SA is pleased to announce the coaching and team staff who will lead South Australia’s Ivor Burge Men’s and Women’s teams at the 2027 National Championships in Ballarat, Victoria.
Both programs will head into 2027 looking to build on strong performances at this year’s Championships. The South Australian Men return after an outstanding silver medal campaign in 2026, while the Women will be looking to push into medal contention after finishing fourth.
There will be plenty of continuity across both programs, with the coaching groups remaining unchanged from the 2026 campaign. The only change comes in the Men’s team management role, with Sally Fox joining the group as Team Manager.
Head Coach: Eliza Wooden
Assistant Coach: Kyla Wilson
Team Manager: Amanda Warren
The Women will also return with an experienced group after narrowly missing the medals with a fourth-place finish in 2026, looking to build on that result in the new campaign.
Head Coach: Donna Georg-Dent
Assistant Coach: Marc Maddaford
Development Coach: Zac Scholes
Team Manager: Sally Fox
After bringing home silver in 2026, the Men will return to Ballarat with their sights set on another strong campaign and the opportunity to go one step further.
The 2027 Ivor Burge National Championships will be held in Ballarat, Victoria from 26–31 January 2027.
Congratulations to all coaches and staff selected to represent South Australia in 2027. ❤️💙💛
