Gippsland United recently announced the appointment of Brad Rooff as Head Coach of the Women’s side.
The Women’s side will compete in Division 2 in 2023, narrowly missing out on promotion to Division 1 last season.
Last season they were led to a fifth-place finish in the league, making its first finals appearance, despite undertaking several coaches throughout the year.
Gippsland United won its first final against Wallan by 22 points, but were knocked out the following week by RMIT Redbacks.
Rooff brings a wealth of experience to Gippsland, after coaching multiple clubs at different age levels across Victoria.
He began his coaching career at McKinnon, before moving to the Casey Cavaliers program in 2015, coaching girls and women of various ages.
At Casey, Rooff endured a successful career, taking on the roles of junior girls coordinator and the women’s Youth League coach.
Rooff’s teams made finals in every season they competed, which resulted in a championship and a runner-up finish.
He won a handful of Coach of the Month awards, with two Coach of the Year awards to compliment them.
Rooff has already begun preparations for the 2023 season.
Import MaKenzie Miller will return for 2023, following her recent stint back in America.
