Former Pro Baller signs for Phoenix
The club is delighted to announce that Trudie Hapgood has signed up to play for the NL Seniors.
Trudie arrived in Scotland earlier this year to lead basketballscotland's Elite Programme after working in development projects for the Australian Sports Commission in Malta and a stint coaching with Welsh professional team Rhondda Rebels and brings a massive amount of playing and coaching experience.
Her playing background includes representing Australian youth and senior squads; being a scholarship athlete at the Australian Institute of Sport; an All-American candidate while playing for the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) in NCAA Division 1 where she played in the NCAA Tournament; and a ten year professional career that included two national championships in the Australian National Basketball League (WNBL).
As a coach, Trudie has gained valuable experience during stints as a Head Coach in Division 1 of the Australian Basketball Association; Assistant Coach with a Junior College in Washington State; full-time development officer in schools; and coach at Australia's Intensive Training Centres talent development camps. Trudie was also selected for the Coaches Award at the FIBA Europe Girls Camp in Slovenia 2007 with the resulting scholarship enabling her to attend Eurobasket Women's Final Four that summer.
Trudie’s involvement is a fantastic boost for the Scottish woman's game as she brings her incredible skills and experience both on and off the court and this will be of tremendous benefit, particularly to Phoenix’s younger players and we wish her well during her stay here in Scotland.
