The St Mary’s Salesian Committee is delighted to $The St Mary’s Salesian Committee is delighted to announce that we have re-appointed Eliza Tivendale as our Women’s Reserves Coach for season 2022, and appointed Penny Heath as our new Women’s Thirds Coach for season 2022. Club President Greg Baum said “We are proud to be providing coaching opportunities for women as they come out of playing. Eliza and Penny are exceptionally talented, dedicated and highly respected women who are wonderful contributors to the life of our football club. Coupled with the recent appointment of our new Women’s Senior Coach, Mitch Dupljanin, our women’s program is in great hands, and we can’t wait to see what 2022 brings!” Eliza came to the club from a water-polo and swimming background, and played in our inaugural reserves side in 2017-2018. “I was honored to captain the reserves side in 2018, before a pesky stress-fractured back forced me into early retirement. To go from a player to a coach seemed a natural transition and has allowed me to stay connected to the players and the club.” Tiv was appointed Reserves coach in 2020 and has guided the team through two challenging COVID interrupted seasons. “While last year was a bit disappointing on the scoreboard, working with the girls was an absolute highlight. Not only did every individual improve, but the team improved out of sight! I love being a part of a team and I love watching people adapt and improve.” Penny has played five seasons of football at St Mary’s Salesian, and now her coaching journey begins. “Playing football at St Mary’s Salesian has enhanced my love of the game. I love being a part of such an inclusive club culture and stretching myself to try new things. Teamwork and having fun is central to developing great footy skills and fitness. I’m looking forward to sharing my passion for game, team and club with our emerging players as coach of our women’s thirds squad.” Bring on season 2022!$
