BIO:
We have been involved with the club for 15+ years but the last three on the committee and with our daughter starting in U5's we figured no better time to coach as well!
We share our responsibilities around our work and get an absolute thrill out of seeing these kids get amongst it and have a go. Plus we have the sweetest team!
Fun Fact: Both of our cars are the same colour but we never planned it that way!

UNDER 9 PANTHERS
BIO:
Started coaching Westside last year as my son's team lost their coach. I am not sure who was more excited that I was coaching, me or Ayden! My aim is to teach them good skills, to play fair and most of all have fun!
I like coaching as you get a kick out of it when the kids do something on the field that you have been teaching them at training and they celebrate their achievements with you.
Fun Fact: I used to race Go-Karts!

UNDER 15 PANTHERS
BIO:
I have been involved with Westside Panthers as a player and a coach since 2008. I first started coaching with WPFC in 2010 with two teams. I Coached the then 2nd Grade Western Premier League side and an Under 6 Team. I am still coaching the same group of boys from the original Under 6 team.
Originally I was roped into Coaching as the team didn't have a coach, however; I now really enjoy coaching and seeing younger players learn and develop. I have taken every opportunity to develop myself as a coach. I have completed many Coaching Course and I am keen to continue to develop my coaching skills.
The main goal for me and my team is to make the finals IN 2019, however; overall to develop and grow as players and young men.

UNDER 15 GREEN
BIO:
I am the manager of BCF Dubbo. I started out as a helper in the u5 and have fallen into the coaching role since. I coach because my son plays and I want to see the kids have a good time. It's enjoyable for me to interact with the kids and hopefully, they are having a good time too.
It would be nice to make the finals this year would be our goal as a team.

1ST GRADE MEN
BIO:
I coach because I have my boys playing. I started with the Westside Panther FC as a player a bloody long time ago (20+ years) then started coaching my eldest boy Tyson in U6 who is now 19 and I am still coaching my other son Jordan in the U15. I was also coaching Dane my youngest up until last year.
I have a fantastic group of boys that I coach with Louie Nakad who is the team manager and he provides great support to me at training and on game day. I have had the same side together now for Aa numbers of years and it is great to see their individual personalities and self-confidence grow from being boys in u6’s to now being young teenagers. I try to keep my training fun and try to change things up at training with a variety of training drills and skills to keep them motivated.
It is good to watch these young players develop to see the skills and drills they do at training play out on game day it makes you feel like you have done well. I also teach them to play fair and to show good sportsmanship.
My goals for the team is to improve themselves as players and grow as a team.
I consider myself to be a dry funny person who can have a joke and laugh.
