Our Committee
Brendan Pauwels
President
When Santa brought a basketball ring to the Pauwels house in 2018, our lives changed forever. A couple months later, Brendan’s son Rhys played his first game for the Fielders and Brendan had no idea what he was doing as Team Manager. Fast forward 3 years and we’re Fielders through and through, with Brendan coaching and joining the Committee to ‘help out’. That helping out sees Brendan in the President role where he is passionate about supporting this club continue to go from strength to strength whilst maintaining the family feel we are well known for.

Angie Serwecinska
Registrar
I joined Fielders Basketball Club when both my sons showed an interest in playing Basketball. It wasn’t too long after joining, that I decided I wanted to give back to the club that had given my boys a true sense of belonging. With a background in management and Early Childhood, I felt confident in being able to support the club from an administrative perspective, and this saw me undertaking the role of Registrar. I feel honoured to be able to volunteer and give back to the club and invite all members to find a way to do the same. Our club wouldn’t be where it is today, if it wasn’t for our community and the dedication, loyalty and commitment each person puts back in. If you see me around the courts, please know I’m always up for a chat and love to meet our players and families! Casey Hubbard
Secretary/ Uniform Coordinator
I grew up playing basketball and now have the honour of coaching and developing the next generation of hoopers. I am truly privileged and proud to be part of something so special and I get to walk/run/skip and jump the sidelines with my two teams each week. If you’ve ever thought about getting involved in kids’ sport (whether it’s coaching or managing a team), I can hand on my heart tell you that is one of the most cup filling and rewarding experiences! You’ll be supported by an incredible Committee who have cultivated the most welcoming and supportive environment. Marnie Egan

We work to have your kids succeed
The committee works very hard to ensure that players are put into teams that will support their own growth and development. Some kids are very competitive and strive for A grade, some however, love to just play! From G grade to A grade we work with the kids to find the right place in the club for them at Fielders. We also provide opportunities for players to play ‘up’ in a higher age group. This allows them to develop their skills further in readiness for coming seasons.
We also encourage older players to start developing their ‘coaching’ skills. With many younger teams we provide a training program for older players to become Assistant Coaches with the view of becoming a Fielders Coach. ​
We are Fielders
Fielders Basketball Club prides itself on being an inclusive club and all junior teams have one hour allotted training sessions each week to enable all juniors the opportunity to improve on their skills. Our role as coaches and team managers is to make sure our players have improved from the start of the season to the end of the season
