Rotary Cambridge & Former Wildcat Shawn Redhage to work together for the benefit of the local community

The Wildcats, the only major professional basketball team in WA, currently are enjoying much success in the National Basketball League. Shawn Redhage joined them in 2005 and enjoyed a hugely successful award winning career with the club. Now retired from active competition, Shawn has not hung up his boots – he’s established a coaching programme to introduce basketball at our local schools.

Come along on Wednesday 7 February to hear all about Shawn’s Wildcats’ years and his current plans for the promotion of basketball in the greater Cambridge community.
