Coaching with us
Our club would not exist if not for the valuable time and effort our coaches and managers put in all year round. MA Olympic coaches are led by James Felix who is our Technical Manager.
Our coaches and manager are the lifeblood of our club and without our volunteers we simply could not operate, we would like to thank all past and present coaches and managers for their hard work and we look forward to another successful year.
As a coach within our club we, along with our committee will provide great support to all of our volunteers and willingly offer available courses to ensure their skills are maintained and current. If you're interested in becoming either a coach or manager for the upcoming season, please get in contact with the team via info@maolympic.org.au
