Sponsors

We’re immensely grateful to our sponsors – Bay SportsMed, Jet Creative and A&J Demolition for their support. The support from Bay SportsMed and Jet Creative have allowed us to purchase new playing kit and travelling gear for the side. A&J Demolition is the man of the match sponsor.

Without our sponsors we’d struggle to present the side in the required manner.

Coaching Staff

The franchise’s coaching staff, led by WaiBOP United’s Youth Team Coach, Paul Drake, spent a considerable amount of time scouting senior, youth and high school teams across the region. Drake also called for nominations from clubs and high schools in an attempt to ensure every potential youth team player was identified.
