• Premier Division Women

After 4 successful years in Women’s football, we will field our first Premier Division Womens team in 2020.

In preparation for this exciting addition to our club, we are seeking a Level 2 Coach capable of taking this transition step into the Premier Division Women’s football in Sydney. We have a very large number of player participants across 3 grades and maximising the potential of this committed list of players will be critical for this coaching role.

Our Women’s program is overseen by Women’s Head of Football Mark Carroll, and has been a wonderful success story to date with Pennant Hills fielding 3 teams in 2019, and our ambition to have competitive teams across the best available competitions is a natural progression for our club.

• Division 1 Men’s Under 19’s

Our Committee have determined that our 19’s program will be a priority focus for our club this year and require an experienced coach who can prepare and develop young men at this age to transition from junior to senior football and maximise player potential.

Developing our list of elite players listed with AFL Swans and Giants Academies, yet flexible enough to work with first year players to AFL will require a strong football background in coaching, teaching and influencing young people. Applicants will have had experience either by coaching at junior ranks, or a strong playing background at senior level. Level 2 coaching would be an advantage, but the club will assist the right candidate to achieve this level during the 2020 season.

Building collaborative relationships with the Premier, Premier Reserve division coaches, senior coaching panel and junior feeder club coaches is a key component to success for this position.

• Division 2 Men’s Under 19’s

This will be a new team targeted at players who have either never played previously, experienced players who want to continue playing this great game but not available to commit to regular training or weekly games, and young developing players.

We are seeking a coach that brings a solid knowledge of AFL experience for coaching and teaching footy talent, but who is flexible to the challenges of managing footballers at this early adult transition stage of footy, work, school,etc. Working closely with the Div 1 Under 19’s coach is a natural expectation, with the ability for foster our Club Team Self mantra at Pennant Hills.
