Five Year 10 Program players - Kyle Campbell, Jason Etchells, Dazza Copeland, Gibbo and Deano Smythe did a terrific job on their first up coaching trial at the Settlers Auskick clinic in front of over 50 parents.
The boys were in-charge of a mini-station with up to 20 highly excited pre-primary and primary students who were there to learn about
our great Australian game.
All the boys said they enjoyed the experience and would definitely be back next week! Ask the boys about it.
Remember boys, this voluntary coaching is important in our community - it is a way to show the parents that we are a great school, a great program, and great young men - not to mention the satisfaction of making some little kids happy for an hour.
All time spent at Auskick will come off your required community service (20 hours) for graduation - so catch up with me soon and come along next week - the program is on Monday arvo's from 3.15 to 4.15 and has five weeks to run. The more the better!
Post a comment - ask the boys how it went! Again, well done boys I was extremely proud of your efforts.

Players, it is around this time that coaching staff from Peel Thunder "D" Squads are out and about viewing 14's and 15's matches to select players for the preliminary squads. Myself, Mr Warren and Mr Gray are involved with coaching the 15's squads. We had a terrific number of players in the squads in 2007 from the CBC Australian Football Specialist Program with 4 players eventually making it to the final squads. Play team footy, do the hard things and support your teammates - those are the things that impress. Who knows maybe a place is waiting for you in 2008.... Good Luck!
