Coaching Team

Hills Hornets is pleased to announce the coaching and management team for JSC 2023.

The Hornets received its highest number of applications for coaching roles in its history.  As a result most teams will have a coaching team of three.

We will also be looking to form development teams for participation in junior gala days, where player numbers permit.
