The Bonbeach YCW Junior Netball Club and the wider Bonbeach community are deeply saddened by the passing of Scott Jones, beloved coach of the Under 15 Comets team. His loss has left players, families, fellow coaches, and friends mourning a dedicated mentor whose presence made a lasting and meaningful impact on everyone around him.
Scott was widely admired for the energy, kindness, and genuine care he brought to every training session and game. He was more than a coach—he was a role model, mentor, and source of encouragement for the young athletes he guided. His ability to inspire confidence, teamwork, and enjoyment of the sport created an environment where players felt supported, valued, and motivated to grow both on and off the court.
Those within the club remember Scott as someone who led with patience, positivity, and sincerity. His commitment to the development and wellbeing of his team reflected his deep passion for the game and, more importantly, for the young people he coached. The impact he made on the Under 15 Comets players will continue to be felt for many years to come, as his guidance and encouragement have helped shape their personal and sporting journeys.
Beyond the court, Scott was cherished as a valued member of the Bonbeach YCW family. His loss is profoundly felt across the club and the wider community, where he was respected not only for his coaching but also for his warmth and character.
The club extends its heartfelt condolences to Eleanor, Austin, and the entire Jones family during this incredibly difficult time. The thoughts and support of the Bonbeach YCW community remain with them as they navigate this deep loss.
As the community comes together in grief, Scott Jones will be remembered with great affection and gratitude. His legacy lives on through the lives he touched, the players he inspired, and the spirit he brought to every moment he shared with the club. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
