Geelong Venom has confirmed the appointment of Kaleb Sclater as assistant coach for the upcoming WNBL season.
Sclater, currently Head of Basketball at Western Heights College and head coach of the Melbourne Tigers NBL1 women’s team, previously assisted Geelong’s WNBL program in 2024 under Chris Lucas.
