Coached by people
who’ve been there
Neave Hancock-WolfLead Coach
A graduate of the Nunawading Spectres junior program and a former Youth League Defensive Player of the Year, Neave coaches with the intensity and team-first mentality that defined her own game. Back from three ACL reconstructions, she brings hard-earned resilience — and a real joy for the game — to every athlete she works with.
Ben CorriganLead Coach
With five years of coaching behind him and a lifelong passion for the game, Ben has coached at nearly every level — from VJBL junior boys to BigV Youth League. His focus goes beyond the scoreboard: helping athletes grow not only into better players, but into good people.
