SPORTS TRAINERS 2010 SEASON

The New decade brings with it a new and enthusiastic team of Sports Trainers.
I would like to extend a huge welcome to Matthew Harris, Rob Pearce, Dylan Brook, Sam Goudie
and Christopher Cornish.
Matthew comes to us from West Adelaide football club where he held the position of Head Trainer with their Under 18 Squad. Rob is a recently retired footballer from another local club, and although decided to hang up his boots this year, his desires to stay involved with Football has brought him into the change rooms as a Trainer. Dylan is a unique young man who has had 5 years experience volunteering with St John’s, which is an amazing task for one so young. And our own Sam has now progressed as a footballer from our Under 18 side into senior football, and will be the trainer of his old (or young) team mates, the Under 18 Squad, with help from myself, Matt and Rob.  Chris has now been with Gaza for 9 years and is devoted to making sure there is plenty of water on the sideline bench.

Currently we are still searching for a Sports Trainer for our C Grade team and would ask anyone who may be interested to please contact me to discuss our requirements. 

Please help me to welcome these wonderful men into our Club, and don’t be shy to introduce yourself and say Hi.
Debbie Stoeckel,
Head Trainer, GAZA Football Club, Mobile: 0422 349 773
