Australia Women's Team Expand Coaching Group With Two More Additions

Australia Women’s team continues strengthening its coaching staff with the addition of two new trainers, Jude Coleman from South Australia and Dan Marsh from Tasmania.

They had recently appointed Shelley Nitschke as their interim head coach and the two new additions will be joining Nitschke ahead of the Aussie women’s tri-series in Ireland followed by the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

“It’s great to have coaches of such high caliber in the Australian system who we can call upon like we have with Jude and Dan.”

“Both have extensive coaching and playing experience and did a brilliant job with the Australia A team earlier this year, so we know they’ll be of great assistance to Shelley, Meg, and the team over the coming months,” Ben Oliver, EGM of High Performance and National Teams, said on Monday.
