Parents meet our Head of Football

By Mrs Monique Glavonjic, Community Engagement Manager

Parents of the Radford football community came together on the evening of Thursday, 20 March for an engaging and insightful meet and greet session with our newly appointed Head of Football, Mr Mitch Stevens.

The event, held in the G. Wigg Sports Centre and hosted by the Parents & Friends Association, provided an excellent opportunity for parents and staff to connect with Mr Stevens and learn more about his background and vision for the Radford football program.

Mr Stevens shared his extensive experience in coaching and player development, outlining his philosophy of fostering not only technical skills but also using football to develop sportsmanship, teamwork, character and personal growth amongst all Radford football players.

During the Q&A segment, parents had the chance to ask questions on a range of topics including training schedules, female teams and player pathways. Mr Stevens highlighted the College’s commitment to providing structured development programs for players of all skill levels, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive on and off the field.

The evening concluded with informal networking, where families had the chance to speak one-on-one with Mr Stevens and our Director of Sport, Ms Megan Fritsch. The positive energy in the room reflected the community’s enthusiasm for the program and the excitement surrounding the future of football at the College.

A special thank you to our Football Captains Henry MacCallum and Thea Reinhardt, who were supported by Year 12 Prefect Amelie Brennan on delivering a wonderful BBQ to kick off the evening.

We extend our gratitude to everyone who attended and to Mr Stevens for sharing his time and vision with us. With such a passionate leader at the helm, the College’s football program is set for an exciting and successful journey ahead.
