Basketball Ballarat announced the appointments ahead of the try-outs process, which will commence once COVID-19 restrictions ease.

Director of coaching Brendan Joyce said many coaches had moved to other age groups to provide development and gain added experience in leading different junior teams.

"Our coaches are very experienced and have all coached our Thrifty Ballarat Miners (and) Rush junior teams in the past," he said.

"These coaches have also been given autonomy to lead their age groups and are encouraged to work together with our other teams to assist with providing strong alignment of teaching our style of play with their age group teams."

With COVID-19 halting play, Joyce has this year adapted to keeping coaches engaged digitally.

"We have used this year as an opportunity to do many Zoom coaching education clinics with our junior coaches and provided further development opportunities for our domestic coaches," he said.

"However, there is nothing like getting out on the court and helping players improve and coaching your teams."

Following the junior try-outs, Basketball Ballarat will commence the process of appointing all other coaching positions.
