Congratulations to Australian junior rep Alastair George (Big Foot) who will be our new coach-in-residence this summer.
Alastair will be ONSW’s first homegrown Coach-in-Residence (CIR), which is a role renamed from the successful scholarship scheme.
His duties will be coaching and mapping in schools, assisting with adult training sessions, putting on events, course setting, and assisting in junior training camps.
Alastair has enjoyed his previous experiences as a coach in Sydney schools, and was looking to expand his expertise into mapping schools when ONSW received his application for the role.
He is aware that the previous incumbent, Grace Molloy, used her time in the role to great effect in building a platform for her future success, while also firmly focused on developing orienteering in NSW. His enthusiasm for new challenges in the role shone through.
Alastair has loads of experience from two JWOCs and we are sure our clubs will appreciate what he can add to their programs.
He starts in Orange on Monday assisting Goldseekers and will finish in the role in February when he starts uni. Clubs interested in making use of Alastair's services should contact
