The "Girl Power Squad" was an initiative first presented by Anthony Aulsebrook in March 2005. With the assistance of KBInc, VBRA - Knox Branch, VBRA and Basketball Victoria.
VBRA Knox Branch was awarded a $10,000 Government Grant to assist with funding the projects involved with the initiative.
One of the main initiatives of the program was to increase retention rates of female officials and work closely with them to continue to develop their skills as referees and promote them in any way possible to develop as top class officials in Australia. We are pleased to announce that over the course of the last two years we have successfully increased the retention rate of female officials and in fact increased the number of female officials within the branch from approximately 30% of total members to a staggering 45% within the branch today. Congratulations needs to be passed to Anthony Aulsebrook, the 2005 / 06 / 07 committees and Knox Basketball Incorporated for all of the hard work that has gone into the program over the last 2 years. We are pleased to announce that the GPS program will continue to be a part of the association for the foreseeable future with a GPS representative being included in the new Development Committee by laws. Please keep an eye on this section of the website for any future announcements. | |
