Michael Stevens and Nathan Parker.
Michael Stevens would be no stranger to many around the football world but would be known mainly to under 12 champs as Billy’s dad.
Micks football credentials speak for themselves and his calm and measured approach to coaching kids makes him the perfect choice to share the reins with Nathan.
The Yarrawonga Football Club feel lucky to have Mick in their group.
Nathan Parker has joined Mick as co-coach of the mighty under 12’s.
YJFC would like to welcome Nathan to the role and to the junior club. Nathan has a long association with Mick, playing junior football together through the Bushrangers program and then onto AFL ranks.
Nathan has an impressive footy knowledge and has been around the system for many years, this along with being a Dad of one the under 12 players (Taj), this makes Nathan a great addition to the junior coaching team.
Welcome Nathan and the club can’t wait to see these Under 12’s learn, grow and above all enjoy the up coming season.
Under 14’s
The club are incredibly pleased to have Jason Tonna take the role of under 14’s coach once again. The energy and approach that Jason has shown in his time at the club already is super impressive. Jason looks forward to extending on much of the work done with many of the kids through an interrupted season 2021 to further their footy and personal development whilst at the same time maintaining a high level and fun approach to footy.
Nathan Tresize joins Jason as co-coach of the under 14’s. Nathan would be a familiar figure to many people around the club and has a terrific football knowledge and a terrific approach to the junior development of young pigeons.
The dedication both these men have shown the junior programs, be it from Auskick to Friday night footy and onto the underage coaching and administration is outstanding.
It’s great to have these people involved with the juniors.
Under 16’s
Once again Shane Forge will take care of the under 16’s. It would come as no surprise he was a natural choice for this role.
YJFC feel privileged to retain Shane as under 16 coach. His effort and integrity through very trying circumstances in season 2021 proves once again the calibre of this bloke and it no doubts rubs off on the young men he coaches.
The club would like to thank and once again welcome this impressive Junior coaching team to the Pigeons family.
YJFC look forward to the upcoming season in the knowledge the juniors are in the best hands and wish everyone a happy and safe Christmas and a prosperous new year.
