Good times ahead
Mark McGann has been appointed coach of the under 17s football side.
McGann is a past premiership captain of the club, a premiership coach of the under 14s in 2007 and will make this his sixth year of junior coaching.
He expects a huge year from his young charges and will start training late January.
Mark Elliott is a new addition to the club and has taken on the under 14s coaching job.
He has seven years' coaching experience in Melbourne and will be looking to develop the players' skills, teamwork and discipline.
Training will start in February, with new and existing players welcome.
John Taylor has again taken charge of the under 12s team, which will be looking to build on the solid groundwork set last year.
He will continue to focus on the players' enjoyment of the game and learning the basics of football.
Taylor was last season named coach of the year in the Goulburn Campaspe Football League.
Jaki Osborne will be looking after the club's youngest netball group, the 11 and under netballers.
The keen young netballers had some fantastic results in 2008 and will look to develop and build on this next year, under the guidance of an experienced coach.
After securing grand final berths this year, Rhonda Marshall and Colline Egglestone are looking to go one better in 2009.
Marshall will be at the helm of the 15 and 17 and under teams, while Egglestone will take on the 13 and under and C reserve teams.
Lyn Hewish will take the reins of the A and B grade netball sides and is a new addition to the club.
She has been a familiar face as a netball umpire for the league and next year she will put her coaching qualifications back into action.
All interested netball players are invited to a light training and `meet the coaches' session at the club on Wednesday at 5.30pm.
