Coaching Bio

My name is Tess and I am lucky enough to be an AFLW Player for the North Melbourne Kangaroos. I am deeply passionate about teaching and footy and am completely open to those of all skill levels booking a session. I particularly am specialised in kicking, but can extend to other areas if need be.

I played all of my junior football in Geelong playing for the Drysdale Hawks and then also the Geelong Falcons. After being drafted to North, I moved to Melbourne in 2023 to start studying at university and to continue my football career. Skills, particularly kicking, have always been my greatest strength. I am passionate about promoting female football, and wish to empower women and girls by helping them learn in a genuine, positive environment. There are a lot of things that go in to footy, but I see skills improvement as an irreplaceable base that can then be extended upon. If this appeals to you, don't be afraid to get in touch.
* I'm currently unavailable for coaching. Please join my waitlist if you'd like to train together when I return. *

Tess has helped my daughter with not only her ball skills but also her mental state. Tess was absolutely fabulous, we will be booking with her again!

Kobi absolutely loved her session with Tess. She communicated with Kobi beautifully and was a pleasure to deal with. Booking the next session now.
