The Chelsea Football Club is pleased to announce Mark Knowles our Under 19 coach for season 2017.

As a former senior player and junior coach Mark understands the Chelsea landscape. Mark was a Senior Assistant last season and he is aware of the way the club wishes to conduct itself at all levels. Its great to have 3 of the Knowles boys involved in 2017.

Mark will be joined by Stretch Cameron also a senior assistant last season and former junior coach, stretch brings energy and optimism to everything he does. New additions to the coaching structure include Mick Davies who also has a family connection to the club. Mick played his footy at Tullamarine and Therry Penola in the VAFA.

Another huge inclusion to the coaching panel is Shane Foley former Sandringham premiership player and Sandringham team of the century player, in typical Axel fashion he will do what is needed without fuss and he will be a ripping inclusion to the club.

We ask all our supporters and especially our young players to get behind Mark and his crew to ensure the bright future of our club.

Training is back and we are on every Monday and Wednesday for the next 5 weeks, we want to see a strong turn out from our Under 19 Players.
We thank the other applicants and extend our best wishes to Mark in his new role.
