Aquinas OCFC have committed to enter an Under 18 team into the VAFA U18 competition for 2010.
The VAFA U18 competition began in 2009 with one division and 8 teams. These teams consisted of clubs throughout A-D4. It is likely that in 2010 there will be two Under 18 divisions.
Meetings have been held with Aquinas College and they are very supportive of this movement. A subcommittee has been formed and will continue to run alongside the senior committee.
While the Under 18 team is only brand new we already have appointed a coach who will bring along several support staff to assist. Rick Gheller has played senior football with the Dalyston Football Club (1979 - 1991) and Forest Hill Football Club (1992 - 2005). Since 2004 Rick has coached teams from the Forest Hill Junior Football Club, ranging from Under 9's to Under 16's. In 2009 he fulfilled two roles at the club namely, the head coach of Forest Hill Junior Football Club, as well as the coach of their Under 16 team, which reached the elimination final.
We welcome Rick, his family and his support staff to the Aquinas community and encourage all eligible kids and their parents to get involved in this exciting new phase of Aquinas football.
More details regarding meet the coach night and training will follow.
