Head Trainer Sophia Samartzis advised the Club 2 weeks ago that she regrettably had to resign from the role she has held for the last 2 years. Sophia who completed a university placement with Geelong Football Club in 2010 will next year commence her Honours which will demand a greater involvement with the Geelong Football Club and probably lead to her living in the Geelong area. On behalf of everyone at the Williamstown Football Club we would like to thank Sophia for her outstanding contribution to our Club and we look forward to her return in the future.
As a result the Club has appointed Nancy Di Grande as our Head Trainer for the 2011 season and she will commence a 5 week pre-Christmas trial period and Lauren Chapman will be her assistant. The Williamstown Football Club is pleased that we are able to promote people from within our ranks and it demonstrates the tremendous quality of people who work with our organisation.
