As a star on and off the court, Barb will have the B-grade side in good stead ready to take on the coming season.

Lori is coaching for the first time and her managing skills and willingness to grow will be a great asset to the team.
Nicole has previously coached, after taking a year off she will be fresh and ready to lead with Lori and grow her skills being back involved with the club.
C-grade is yet to be determined and will be announced at a later date.
The under-17s will be coached by Phoebe Keech who has played more than 100 games for the club.
