Meet Our Coaches

Coached by people
who’ve been there.

Our coaches don’t just teach the game — they’ve lived it. They lead with standards, relationships, and a genuine love for developing athletes.

Lead Coaches

The people in your corner

Neave Hancock-Wolf and Ben Corrigan, Hardwood Culture Academy lead coaches
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.

At Hardwood Culture, athletes don’t just train — they take ownership. Coaching here starts with trust and strong relationships; from there, we challenge, refine, and elevate.
