Club Person of the Year 2022
Caroline Giumelli - for nine years of service on the committee, the last three years as uniform coordinator. Caroline's contributions in the club have been invaluable. 2022 was Caroline's last year on the committee.
Francesca Worley- for being the glue that ensures the club thrives. This year has been much more difficult with COVID and the large number of fill-in players that have been needed.
Paul Trettel - for the organisation and management of all of our coaches, he has excelled in the early stages of the season, ensuring that teams are matched with coaches, and then throughout the season ensuring that coaches have had access to ongoing education.
There were many more nominations, and I am sorry I could not give awards to everyone who had amazing things written about them.

We still need a coach for Year 1 program for 2023, one person has put their hand up to help manage, but it also requires a coach to run it. Without someone to do this role, the program will not be able to go ahead. If you are able to help, please contact Paul Trettel.
