Camberwell Dragons have announced an experienced coaching line-up for next year's Big V season, with Paris Joannides and Mark Jeffers joining returning coaches Fraser Kennedy and Shawn King.

Joannides (pictured far left) replaces Danni Fidge as the head coach of our Youth League Women's team, while Jeffers (second from right) takes charge of our Division 1 Women., replacing Cara Jeffers.

Joannides is well known to the Dragons senior program after working as an assistant coach with the D1 Women's team over the past two seasons, and is looking forward to making an impact in his his new role.

"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."

His enthusiasm for the upcoming Big V season is shared by Mark Jeffers, who moves into the senior women's program after previously coaching our senior men's team.

"I am incredibly fortunate to get this opportunity to coach our Division 1 Women," he said. "I want to acknowledge the hard work Cara has done in building the foundations of this team and program over the past two seasons, and I look forward to building on the structure she has creted."

Kennedy (second from left) is back for his fourth season as head coach of our Youth League Men's team and King returns for his second campaign with our Championship Men's team.

Kennedy, who led our YLM to the playoffs last season, will be assisted again by Conor Mathews, while Christian Peachman and Larry Chen return as assistant coaches on King's staff.
