Meet the Coaches: Our First Kicks program is led by the amazing Kelsey & Maggie:
Maggie: Kia ora, my name is Maggie and I’ve been playing football since I was 5! I started out my footy days in a first kicks program and I have never looked back. This is my fourth season playing for Western’s Sunday women’s No.1s, after previously captaining Papanui Redwood women’s and Marian College’s 1st XI. I organised a first kicks program when I was in high school, as well as coaching some youth teams. I adore coaching and watching young kids enjoy their sport. When I don’t have a football at my feet you’ll find me with a whistle in the summer at a Touch Referee. I can’t wait to get to know you all!! .
