Thanks for Coaching!
On behalf of the East Perth District, thank you for taking on a coaching role. We understand that coaching a football team can sometimes be challenging. That's why the East Perth District has appointed two specialist Coaching Coordinators, Mil Preiato and Laurie Hart. These two men have extensive experience in coaching at community club level (both junior and senior) and are only too willing to offer their assistance to our club coaches.
