THANK YOU DAVE!

A big thank you to Dave Barnard as he steps away from his role as Co-Coach of our Men’s Premier League side.

Over the past 3 years, Dave has been a valued part of the Crocs coaching group, helping guide the program and playing an important role in the club’s recent success, including a Men’s Premier League Premiership.

Dave’s passion for the group, commitment to the players and contribution behind the scenes have been greatly appreciated by everyone at Southern Districts.

As one chapter closes, another begins, and we thank Dave for everything he has brought to the red, white and black.

Once a Croc, always a Croc. ❤️🖤🤍

THANK YOU SHANNON!
A huge thank you to Shannon Rusca as he steps down from his role as Men’s Premier League Coach.

Over more than a decade of involvement, Shannon has played a massive role in shaping our football program and helping drive the club forward, including leading the Crocs to 2 Premierships. His passion, leadership and commitment have left a lasting impact on Southern Districts Football Club both on and off the field.

Shannon’s connection to the Crocs runs far deeper than coaching alone. A former player and Life Member of the club himself, Shannon comes from a proud Crocs family, with both of his parents also recognised as Life Members of Southern Districts Football Club. The Rusca family’s contribution to the red, white and black over many years has been enormous and is woven into the fabric of our club.

While this marks the end of an era in the MPL coaching box, it’s also a natural next chapter for both Shannon and the club as we continue to build for the future.

Thank you for everything you’ve contributed to the red, white and black, Shannon.

❤️🤍🖤 The Crocs Family.
