The Rotary Club of Strathalbyn mourns the loss of Past President & esteemed club member

Vivienne & family. Funeral details to be advised at a later time.
It is with great sadness that we share with the Strathalbyn Basketball Community, the tragic passing of the iconic Kym Goodenough. Kym was instrumental in getting basketball in Strathalbyn up and running to what it is today and was one of the first life members to our association. During Kym’s era the local basketball competition was fierce with very loyal clubs competing in juniors and seniors. Clubs would have multiple teams in the junior grades (U12, U14, U16, U18) as well as running A,B and C Grade competitions in the senior grades for both men and women in our small country town. Kym’s heart lied with local club Veterans All Stars which he headed up and was the coach and player in their very successful A Grade Men’s side. He also coached many other Veterans All Stars teams as well. Kym was not only a driving force for local basketball but was also involved at District and SA Country level. Kym was a very popular and experienced coach with SA Country as well as being employed as the Executive Director by SA Country Basketball for a number of years. Following on from basketball in Strathalbyn, Kym helped establish Murray Bridge Bullets in the District competition and then was instrumental in bringing together Mt Lofty Spurs and Murray Bridge Bullets to form Eastern Mavericks. Kym opened doors to many talented basketballers in our community supporting them on their basketball journey; he would spend countless hours in our local stadium preparing individual athletes for SA Country and Nationals competitions in an era where basketball pathways were not as easily accessible as they are today. Not only would Kym work with each individual but he also supported their families by getting athletes to various trainings and competitions to ensure they could make the most of their opportunities. Kym has had a profound effect on basketball in our community and his legacy lives on by those who had the privilege to know him and be mentored by him. These people are actively giving back to the Strathalbyn and District Basketball Association and the Strathalbyn Storm program as administrators and coaches. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Kym’s wife Viv, son Joel and the Goodenough family.
