Our Coaching Approach
We partner with XLR8 for coaching support throughout the season. Although Gordon FC’s ongoing success is reliant on the support of community volunteers. We need coaches, managers and referees for each age group team drawn from volunteer parents. Many perks come with the job including being closest to the game action, demonstrating our club values and opportunities for coaching courses to enhance your skills.
All coaches and managers receive a GFC polo and puffer jacket
