The Eley Park Football Club are pleased to announce the following coaching appointments for the upcoming 2023 Season.
Matt Embling has been reappointed for a second year as senior coach. He joined the club earlier this year and has had positive impact on the club in the time he has been here.
Assisting Embling in 2023, the club has been fortunate to secure the services of three line coaches. The aim of all three line coaches is to fast track the development of the entire playing group.
Mitch Ross, who was involved in a coaching capacity at times in 2022 when injured. He will take on the responsibility of backline on match day and will be an excellent mentor for the defensive group.
John Baribar, joins the club taking charge of the midfield group. John has over twenty years playing experience in Victoria and Queensland in various competitions. The club is looking forward to Baribar sharing his innate knowledge around structures and stoppages to ensure the midfield group is well prepared.
Jarrod Newton, a long time Shark will take over the forwards. He impressed many at the club when coaching the reserves at times in 2022 and this role is the logical progression for coaching aspirations. The club are excited to see how he can make the forward line flourish under his watch.
As well as these line coaches the club has appointed Xavier Bacash-Power to the position of Reserves coach for the 2023 Season. Xavier’s professional background as an educator and his coaching experience previously will be a fantastic addition to the coaching group.
The Eley Park Football Club are still actively recruiting new players for the 2023 Season and pre-season training has commenced. More information can be found on the clubs socials.
