Macquarie University Australian Football Club are very pleased to announce that our 2009 Coaching appointments are near complete with Pre Season set to start November 11th (see article below).
The 2009 appointments are as follows:
· Club Head Coach – Daniel Kenny
· Assistant Coach – Dean Connors
· Assistant Coach – awaiting reply from prospective coach
· Reserves Coach – Lee Jefferies
· Assistant Coach – David Frostick
· Under 18’s Coach – Donald Ollington
· Thirds Coach – vacant
Daniel Kenny joins as Club Head Coach. Daniel has recently had great experience with Under 23 development squads and Talented Player Programs, whilst also being Assistant Coach in the 2008 Sydney AFL International Rules game. He has over 9 years coaching experience, with the most recent being with Pennant Hills AFC Reserve Grade, who reached finals in both years.
Dean Connors joins Daniel in the coaching ranks. Dean has had previous coaching experience with the U15, U16 and U18’s STARZ teams. Dean is a previous Premier League and NSW/ACT Rams player who was also a winner of the Kealey Medal (B&F U18's Premier Cup).
The Club is awaiting a reply from another prospective Assistant Coach which has been delayed.
Lee Jefferies takes on another year as Reserve Grade Coach where it is hoped to continue to foster his passion for the game and the Club and see the “Ressies” side move further up the ladder.
The U18’s had a sensational year moving from bottom of the ladder to a finals force under the guidance of ex-Club Captain and B&F winner Donnie Ollington. Donnie has moulded a formidable team in his first year at Coaching and 2009 sees the young Warriors seeking a flag after illustrating what they can do in the 2008 season.
The “Thirds” Coaching position remains vacant, so if you are interested in making your first step into coaching OR would like to be a player Coach, we would love to hear from you. Please contact Club President Grant Stodulka on 0418 851 808 or email president@muafc.com.au,
Please stay tuned for further updates on the restructure of the Sydney AFL.
