Training

Wednesday afternoon is training day starting from 4:30pm onwards. The club house is open for purchases of merchandise or uniforms as well as being able to interact with the staff and coaches during the training sessions.

We make it a point of staggering the various age groups in training sessions for a few reasons. One of which is to avoid gridlock on the fields and carparks, secondly to ensure each team has sufficient space to train.

Meet The Coaches

John Wallwork

Senior Men Eagles

I have coached at the Club for 21 years staring with my son in under 6s through now to Senior Men’s , Proud to say still have a number of players still playing in the Men’s from those junior days. Along the way have coached my daughters in Junior Girls and Senior Women Div 1. Stepped back and coach a junior team for a couple of years as well.

 

Why do I do it , enjoy seeing players develop not only their soccer skills but life skills whilst interacting in a team environment and making friends for life. Friendships made and generally the social aspect of being involved in the Club.

For me coaching the senior men’s is a great way to stay connected with mates, and to help them improve there game even more and just enjoy our Saturdays on the pitch.

Trent Lewis

Senior Women Hawks

Last year was my first year coaching a senior team. It was an educational experience not just for me but for the women as well. I don’t think I have laughed as much during a training session as I do with these women. I really enjoy both the bond we all have as a team and the challenges involved with coaching the team.

I started off playing for BVSC in the late 90’s. Having left to play for Lions FC in the early 2000’s. I am back at the mighty eagles playing and coaching the over 30’s.

 

The best part about coaching would have to be helping players overcome challenges while not loosing that enjoyment of the game!

Jeremy Storta

Under 13 Eagles

I started with Brisbane Valley Soccer Club as a Senior Men’s player after moving to the area, but my love for the game began at age six. Coaching became a natural next step when I wanted to introduce my daughter Adison to the sport as she gained interest watching her brother Caden play.

 

I enjoy watching players grow and helping them see the game from a new perspective. My coaching approach focuses on teaching the "why" behind drills, rather than just giving instructions, so players can develop a deeper understanding of the game.

 

Coaching has not only improved my skills as a player but has also made me a better father.

Trent Lewis

Under 11 Eagles

I have coached most of these boys from under 8’s. They are group of boys who never give up.
