South Adelaide Announces 2026/27 Management Committee Following AGM

South Adelaide Basketball Club has confirmed its Management Committee for 2026/27, following a successful Annual General Meeting held on Sunday 8 November at Club Marion.

The meeting marked an important step forward for our club, with members unanimously approving amendments to our Constitution to strengthen the Management Committee structure and provide greater support for our growing basketball community.

Our 2026/27 Management Committee

We are pleased to confirm the following Committee members:

• President: Scott Thur

• Vice President: Tim Dawson (re-elected for two years)

• Secretary: Kristy Goodwin

• Treasurer: Matt Law

• Senior Program Manager: Bill Yeo

• Junior Program Manager – Boys: Damian Scanlon (two-year term)

• Junior Program Manager – Girls: Kat Ciabattoni (initial one-year term)

The newly established Community Engagement and Partnerships Manager position remains vacant, with discussions currently underway with several interested people.

Strengthening Our Club's Future

One of the key outcomes of the AGM was the unanimous approval of constitutional amendments establishing separate Junior Program Manager positions for Boys and Girls, along with the new Community Engagement and Partnerships Manager role.

These changes recognise South Adelaide Basketball's continued development and the importance of providing dedicated support across our programs.

The separate Junior Program Manager roles will allow greater focus on the needs of our boys' and girls' programs, while the Community Engagement and Partnerships Manager position will strengthen our relationships with sponsors, partners, volunteers and the wider community.

The changes also establish revised election cycles to support continuity across the Management Committee.

Thank You, Alex Hudson

We extend our sincere appreciation to outgoing Secretary Alex Hudson, who has served on our Management Committee for the past two years.

Alex has generously given her time to support the administration and governance of South Adelaide Basketball, contributing to the work that happens behind the scenes to keep our club running.

On behalf of our Committee, staff and members, thank you, Alex, for your commitment and contribution to the Panthers.

We also welcome Kristy Goodwin as our incoming Secretary and look forward to working with her.

Recognising Our Special Guests

We were delighted to welcome three special guests to this year's AGM:

Louise Miller-Frost MP, Federal Member for Boothby

Councillor Raelene Telfer, City of Marion

Mayor Kris Hanna, City of Marion and South Adelaide Basketball Club Patron

Each addressed our members and shared their support for our club and the future of basketball in our community.

We sincerely thank Louise, Raelene and Kris for taking the time to attend and for their ongoing support, particularly as we look ahead to the new Marion basketball stadium.

Thank You to Our Members

Finally, thank you to every member who attended the AGM, participated in discussions and exercised their voting rights.

Our club is built on the contribution of our members, families, coaches, volunteers and supporters. Your involvement in decisions about our future helps ensure South Adelaide continues to grow in a positive direction.

With the new stadium on the horizon and strengthened leadership across our basketball programs, we look forward to what the next 12 months will bring.

Thank you for being part of South Adelaide Basketball.
