GIPPSLAND POWER GOING FOR YOUTH
Gippsland Power is introducing youth skill acquisition sessions to be held over the Term 1 holidays at their ‘Centre of Excellence’ in Morwell. Gippsland Power’s football department recognised the opportunity to provide boys and girls from Under 10, 12 & 14 with professional advice and coaching on basic skill technique, including kicking, hand-balling, marking and game sense. Gippsland Power Talent Manager, Peter Francis offered that, “With an emphasis on fun and learning correct technique, boys and girls can come along and be coached by people with AFL experience and some of the Gippsland Power boys from the Under 18s and have a great day”. Coaching the future stars on the day will be, current Power coach, Leigh Brown, a 246 game champion who is one of only two players to register 50 games for three teams. Brown is a 2010 Collingwood premiership player. Joining Leigh Brown is Peter Francis, Gippsland Power coach from 1995 - 2000. Francis played 158 games for Carlton (1979 Premiership), Fitzroy, Richmond and Essendon and is the current Talent Manager at the club. Several of the Under 18 boys will be on hand to help the young players to develop their skills and playing confidence.
