Want to take your coaching to next level? We encourage you to contact our Representative Development Committee to enquire about connecting with a Coach Mentor or assisting / participating in our Bears Representative Program. This can be as little as coming to watch our rep teams and coaches in action to get ideas for training drills or arranging for a Coach Mentor to come along to one of your training sessions. Those wanting more and wanting to dive in, our Development Committee can help connect you with one of our Head Coaches to enquire about assisting one of our Representative Teams in South West Regional & State based Carnivals.
