AFL Victoria Coach of the Year Nominations

Since 1989 the Victorian AFL Coaches Association (AFCA) has been recognising community football coaches for the significant role they play in the development of clubs, individual players and teams. The AFCA Coach of the Year Awards are designed to recognise coaching service and excellence in five categories – Auskick, Junior Club, Female, Youth and Senior – with each AFCA regional branch awarding coaches in these categories for their efforts annually.

We are very fortunate to have more than 80 top notch coaching staff dedicated to developing our FJFC players through season 2018. The YJFL has recognised two of our coaches in particular as nominees in the AFCA Coach of the Year awards. We wish Brett Munro and Matty Drew all the best after being nominated as finalists.
