HFNL appoint Junior Interleague Coaches

 

The Hampden Football Netball League is pleased to announce their junior interleague coaches for the 2024 South West District Football League Junior Carnival.

The HFNL will take four teams, including two U17 squads and two U14 steams to the one-day carnival on Sunday, May 5th. The teams will play games at Heathmere Recreation Reserve and Portland’s Alexander Park.

Respected Portland Tigers junior coach Justin Impey will lead one of the U17 teams, while Warrnambool’s Ben Parkinson will guide the other U17 squad. Both coaches were a part of the Hampden Football Netball League U17 Interleague coaching panel in 2023 against Ballarat.

Koroit premiership coach Andrew Foster will take charge of one of the U14 teams, while experienced North Warrnambool junior mentor Aaron Ross will coach the other U14 team.

League Administrator Trent Hill says we are thrilled with the calibre of coaches leading our junior interleague teams in 2024.

“All four coaches are experienced mentors and the learnings our junior players will receive off them will be highly beneficial towards their football,” he said.

“We as a league are excited to be a part of the carnival to showcase our strong junior talent.”

Association Championships Coaching Appointments

 

The Hampden Football Netball League is proud to announce their Association Championship netball coaches for 2024.

The League will participate in the Western Zone Association Championship qualifiers in Ballarat on June 2nd, before moving onto the State Titles on June 16th.

The Open Division Team will be coached South Warrnambool premiership coach Will Jamison. Will has guided the HFNL Open Team for the past two seasons, resulting in semi-final placings.

New Koroit Open coach Danielle McInerney will have the responsibility of leading the U17 squad. Danielle, who returns from Townsville this season, has been involved in four previous HFNL Association Championship campaigns during 2017 – 2020.

The U15 squad will have joint coaches with experienced mentors Leah Kermeen and Josie Ellerton at helm. The duo has a combined 500 games of Hampden League experience and were the U15 and U15 Reserves coaches at South Warrnambool in 2023.

Koroit legend Kate Dobson has been appointed the U13 coach and will be assisted by Lianna Harrison. Kate has been involved with senior and junior coaching for the past 20 years at multiple levels and this season is the U13 Saints coach. Lianna a newcomer to the league, she has had previous coaching experience in Southeast Melbourne and North Central Victoria.

HFNL Head of Netball Dot Jenkins says the league is absolutely thrilled with the appointments.

“Our coaches are extremely good communicators who focus on the strengths of the players and the teams they coach,” she said.

“The league’s first aim is to expose the girls to the next level of Netball. Players coming together to represent the league allows the development of friendships, camaraderie, and respect for each other and opposing teams.”
