"Behind every successful step I take in the APEX program, there's a team at SWAS working quietly but relentlessly in the background. You may not always see them, but they’re always there—supporting and guiding me to reach my goals. The APEX program has played an immense role in my growth, and it’s because of this dedicated support system that I’ve been able to develop both personally and professionally, whether it be on the court or off the court.”
- Eve Covey, 2025
A Bit About Me
I started playing basketball when I was 7 in Port Fairy with some girls a few years older than me. I then played in the boys comp and then from there when I was old enough, I flicked over to Warrnambool where I tried out for squad in Under 12s as a bottom ager and was fortunate enough to be selected in the championship side. From all the way from bottom age under 12s to top age under 18s I was lucky enough to stay in Warrnambool's top side throughout the years. The group of girls I played with through those years have been very successful, winning the Junior Country Championship in 2019 and 2021. Some of the girls in those teams also have had the opportunity to play seniors with the Championship Big V women, including myself where we have a very young side in the 2025 season. From here I’m just looking to keep on developing and growing and eventually to play and compete at the highest level possible where ever that takes me; hopefully somewhere around the world so I can play, travel and potentially work.
