YOUTH LEAGUE WOMEN
HEAD COACH

Paris Joannides

Paris Joannides takes charge of our Youth League Women’s team for the first time in 2026.

Paris moves into the role after working as an assistant coach for the club’s senior women’s team over the past two seasons and replaces Danni Fidge, who stepped down in August 2025.

“I can’t wait for the season ahead and (to) continue building on the great work that previous coaches have done with this group,” he said.

“My focus is not only on helping this team compete and develop, but also on creating a strong pathway into the Senior Women’s program.”
