Coach

Coaching at the Saratoga Hawks is one of the most rewarding ways to contribute to community sport. Our volunteer coaches are mentors who help young players refine skills, understand game strategy, embrace teamwork and develop confidence both on and off the field. Coaching isn’t just about X’s and O’s — it’s about building positive team culture, leadership, sportsmanship and resilience in children of all ages.

We welcome experienced coaches and those new to footy alike. The AFL provides coaching resources and frameworks to support coaches at all levels, including specialised guidance for coaching women’s and girls’ teams. This means you get practical tools, session plans and ongoing development to help you succeed in nurturing a thriving team environment.

If you love footy and want to make a difference in the lives of young athletes, consider becoming a Hawks coach — your leadership helps shape the future of the game.
