INDIVIDUAL AWARDS

Volunteer of the Year - Theresa Dinh

Theresa is a young woman in North's All Age Ladies team. This is her first year playing competitive soccer, but she comes from a 'soccer family' - and it shows. She is an outstanding player who always gives 110% on the field; Theresa manages our training for the 'little soccer Roos' twice a week and can have up to 20 or 30 young ones in each session. It has been amazing to watch her with the kids - how she can manage so many all at once, how much fun they have, and how they have progressed in their skill levels. Theresa has also volunteered her time to engage in work that keeps the club going - setting up fields, assisting in the canteen, and time on the BBQ. Her help has been invaluable. In a time when all clubs can struggle to attract volunteer helpers, it has been greatly appreciated by our club that such a young person has been prepared to do so much.

Coach of the Year - Mahir (Max) Kavazovic

Max did an outstanding job with our Under 12 Div 2 team this year. He faced lots of obstacles. The team did not have enough players early in the season and fell to the bottom of the ladder. But they always played their personal best, with good spirit, and with encouragement and direction from their coach. The boys learnt a lot - life skills and soccer skills, and with the addition of some extra players, they made it to the Grand Final. This was a nail-biting game to the very end with extra time and a penalty shoot-out, which, unfortunately, Norths lost. But a great result for the year after a difficult start, and full credit to Max for getting the most out of his team.
