Here’s a wonderful opportunity to have a huge impact on the development of junior coaches and players throughout the AFL South East region.

Three (3) positions are currently available for AFL South East Junior Coaching Mentors, with the successful applicants to jointly create and deliver a Junior Coach Mentor Program that builds capacity within clubs to support junior and youth coaches.
