The coaches for the 2011 season have been appointed. Colin Groves will coach First grade. Gerry Thompson is assistant coach and Mick Kearns will be doing the fitness training. Gerry and Mick did an outstanding job in this area last year, and they will provide excellent continuity by taking on this role again in 2011. Colin has indicated that he has secured the sevices of a number of “position specialist” coaches this year. Their services will be called upon regularly.

Brent Horan is coaching Reserve Grade. Brent has retained his enthusiasm for this job and will also have the support of a number of “specialist coaches” throughout  the season.

Josh Piercy will follow up with his second year at the helm of the Under 19 coaching team. The core of the team from 2010 remains, and with the a number of new players showing up for this grade, Josh will again be training an exciting and enthusiastic group of keen young players.

Gary McDonald has been appointed to coach Third grade. Gary stood in very ably for Mick Koellner a number of times in 2010, when Mick was unavailable. Gary’s enthusiasm and commitment was infectious when he ran training. He is well organised and will bring a new direction to Third grade in 2011.

Pre-season training will start on FEBRUARY 8TH. 2011. The first few weeks of training will be at the beach, with Flat Rock being the most likely venue. Weather and beach conditions can sometimes present a problem, so players should check with one of the coaches for the correct venue and time. (Phone Colin on 66860148).
