Congratulations and welcome to the young lad who pulled on the candy strips for the first time in the A Grade in the match against Nairne. A proud day for all involved.
Presented by Captain and 200+ A Grader – Alex Weeks
Congratulations to Josh Calla’s who will play in his 50th senior game with the Devils this Saturday against Nairne.
An extremely talented junior that has developed through the Mt Lofty program, Calla’s has become one of the most hardworking young mid fielders, who can win his own ball and have such presence delivering it forward.
A super loyal team mate, that has helped with Auskick over the years has now taken on an Assistant Coaching role with the U18 men’s team this year.
We can’t wait to see what’s ahead for Josh, perhaps some goal kicking lessons in the next 50 games to help convert those behinds.
It was great to see out new coordinators ‘The Peake Family’ enjoying the day with mentor Leith Dawes. Along with helpers Senior mens and womens players and U16s from the Mt Lofty Devils.
Remember if you have missed out, please join us for a come’n’try if you are still finding you footy feet.
Stirling Oval Sundays 10:30-11:30am or email auskick@mtloftydevils.com.au
We are looking forward to seeing the littlest footballers and their families out there for week 1 this Sunday May 7, 10:30am-11:30am at Stirling Oval.
You still have time to register, or you are more than welcome to head out and join us for a come’n’try session first if you are still finding your football feet.
We would like to introduce you to the coordinators for Auskick at Mt Lofty for 2023, Rose & Mick Peake. They will be at Stirling Oval ready to welcome you all.
Rose, Mick with their children, Ella and Daniel have a long-standing connection to the Mt Lofty Football Club, which started back in 2014 when their son Daniel enrolled in the Auskick program.
After Auskick, Daniel used his extensive charm and persuasion skills to convince Mick to coach his team and Rose to be Team Manager….and the rest as they say is history! They all continued into U11’s. Mick has extensive experience with both the Boys and Girls teams, having coached the first U12’s Girls team for Mt Lofty then the U14’s, in which their daughter Ella played. Rose is back this year as a team manager too with Daniel and the U16’s.
Both community minded, Mick and Rose have coached and held positions outside of our club, while Rose is still playing netball for sister club, Heathfield Netball Club.
Rose, Mick, and the Peake family will bring their extensive knowledge of football to our Auskick program. They note that their main objective is their participants have fun, learn the game, and begin to feel connected to Mt Lofty and our community. Their hope is that your families are able to form the kind of rewarding connections that they have been able to.
