Basketball ACT recognises Coach Kinnane

By Ms Megan Fritsch, Director of Sport

Radford College's Head of Basketball, Mr Ryan Kinnane, has received an Outstanding Service Award from Basketball ACT in recognition of his exceptional leadership, innovation, and long-standing contribution to basketball at Radford and the wider ACT community.

Over the past decade, Ryan has transformed the College's basketball program into Radford’s largest sport, growing participation from 342 to more than 500 players across all year groups.

Ryan has been instrumental in building strong partnerships with organisations such as Basketball Australia’s Centre of Excellence, NBA Schools Australia and the UC Capitals, and in doing so have created opportunities for our budding players to learn from professional athletes. He has also developed coach education initiatives, player mentoring programs and inclusive opportunities such as wheelchair basketball clinics.

Ryan’s sustained service, community engagement and passion for development through basketball have made a significant and lasting impact on both Radford College students and the wider basketball community.
