💛 GET TO KNOW THE TEAM - COACH ZOE💛

We reckon we've saved one of the best for last! it's time to meet the girl who somehow keeps this bunch of chickens in line – Coach Zoe! 🐔😂

🎵 Pre-game anthem: *Family Affair* – Mary J Blige
🍝 Post-game reward: Carbonara (elite choice)
🏁 AFL Team: Collingwood
🐐 Favourite player of all time: Scott Pendlebury
🐐 Favourite current player: Also Scott Pendlebury (consistency is key)

When asked what inspired her to coach, Zoe didn't hesitate:

💬 "The girls."

And her favourite thing about coaching?

💬 "Watching everyone grow, not only as people but as a team."

Now for the important questions...
🥾 Most likely to forget their boots? Violet C
⏰ Most likely to arrive halfway through warm-up? Jenna always seems to rock-up halfway through warm-up.
🗺️ Most likely to get lost on a road trip? Kailey (Can't park there!)
📢 Loudest on gameday? Me & Jess from the bench and Lilly & Izzy on the field.
🗣️ Biggest chatterbox? Chook (Ana) – and it's not even close.

😂 Funniest coaching moment?
Dressing up as Neil for his birthday. Some say the resemblance was uncanny...

🍍 Pineapple on pizza?
"NOOOOOOOOOOO."

🏆 Funniest thing a player has ever asked?
"Does the winner get chocolates?"

If the Drouin Youth Girls had their own reality TV show, it would be called:
📺 **Keeping Up With The Chickens** 🐥
Which honestly sounds pretty accurate.

Zoe describes herself as reliable, easygoing and fun, but we'd probably add patient... because coaching this mob every week deserves some sort of award. 😂

Thanks Zoe for everything you do for the girls, for your endless support and for helping build such a positive, welcoming environment where every player can thrive.

Team Dinner for Coach Neil’s Birthday 🎉

What a fantastic night celebrating Coach Neil’s birthday!

The team came together to surprise Neil with a birthday dinner, and it was great to see everyone enjoying some time together away from the footy field. Moments like these remind us that Drouin Youth Girls is more than just a football team, it’s a family.

Happy Birthday, Neil. Thank you for everything you do for our girls. Your dedication, support and passion for helping our players grow both on and off the field doesn’t go unnoticed. We hope you had a great night and enjoyed the surprise! 💛
