Thank You, Mark Brown
Mooroolbark Soccer Club advises that, for personal reasons, Mark Brown has stepped down as Senior Women’s Coach effective immediately.
Over the past two and a half seasons, Mark has played a pivotal role in the growth and success of our women's football program. Under his leadership, the team achieved back-to-back promotions, rising from State League 3 South East to State League 1 South East, establishing itself as one of the leading women's programs in the region.
Mark's passion, commitment and dedication to the players and the club have never been in question. His contribution has helped lay the foundations for the continued success of women's football at The Kennel, and for that we are extremely grateful.
Mark Brown's Record as Senior Women's Coach
🏆 State 3 South East Runners-Up (2024)
⬆️ Promoted to State 2 South East (2025)
⬆️ Promoted to State 1 South East (2026)
📊 Overall Record
Games: 49
Wins: 24
Draws: 7
Losses: 18
Goals For: 99
Goals Against: 75
Points: 72
Mark leaves the role having overseen one of the most successful periods in the history of our women's football program.
The club would also like to acknowledge that this is a difficult time for Mark and his family. Mooroolbark Soccer Club will continue to support Mark in any way we can, and we ask our members to respect his privacy.
Effective immediately, Kelly Butera will step into the role of Senior Women's Coach. Kelly has been an integral part of the team's success as Assistant Coach and has worked closely alongside Mark throughout this journey. We have every confidence in her ability to lead the group.
On behalf of everyone at Mooroolbark Soccer Club, thank you Mark for your service, commitment and achievements. We wish you and your family nothing but the very best for the future.
❤️🖤🤍

🏆 A Recognition for the Barkers Community 🏆
Mooroolbark Soccer Club is incredibly proud to congratulate our President, Stuart Milne, on receiving a 2026 Casey Community Award from Aaron Violi MP in recognition of his contribution to our local community.
This is an incredible honour, but one that represents far more than one individual.
This award reflects the work of the 126 volunteers and club leaders who give their time, energy and passion to make Mooroolbark Soccer Club what it is today.
Right now, our club is powered by:
⚽ 57 Coaches
📋 37 Team Managers
🛠️ 7 Grounds & Facilities Volunteers
📱 4 Social Media Team Members
☕ 7 Hospitality Team Members
🗳️ 10 Committee Members
🎯 3 Football Coordinators
📈 1 Technical Director
That is 126 volunteers helping drive this club forward.
Every training session, every line marked, every social post, every meal served, every registration processed, every game day setup, every committee meeting and every player supported happens because people in our community choose to put their hand up.
This award is a recognition of all of you.
But as our club continues to grow, we need more people to step forward.
We need:
🔴 More committee members
⚫ More social media and content creators
⚪ More grounds and facilities volunteers
🔴 More people to help organise the Red Earth Summer Slam
We can’t keep relying on the same people to put their hands up every time.
If you’ve ever thought about getting involved, now is the time.
Get in touch with the club today if you want to be part of the biggest sporting club in the Shire of Yarra Ranges and the fastest growing football club in the east.
This is the home of football in the east.
📩 Contact: [email protected]
Don’t leave it to someone else.
Step up. Get involved. Help shape what comes next.
Congratulations Stuart — and thank you to every volunteer who makes this club stronger every single day.
See you down at the Kennel. ❤️🖤🤍
