Purpose of the Role
The Equipment Manager – Sydney
Flames exists to deliver an exceptional player experience at training and at
home games. Players and coaches should walk into every training session and
every home game and find the environment already set: court ready, kit clean
and distributed, equipment in place, and the locker room and bench prepared.
When the environment around the team is seamless, players can give everything
to performance.
The role is the hands-on owner
of the Flames’ daily training environment and home game support, working to
priorities set by the AGM – Basketball Operations (Sydney Flames). The quality
of this role is measured in what players experience every day: a professional,
high performance environment, delivered reliably and to a consistently high
standard.
