OCTOBER, 2022
Culture and an exciting brand of footy.
Those are the two main focuses of Troy Selim when he steers the inaugural Berwick Springs women’s football side in 2023.
Selim developed his coaching craft at Hampton Football Netball Club after the conclusion of his playing career and spent a season at Casey Thunder, before the environment of Berwick Springs piqued his interest.
“Just the culture really and the family nature of the club” Selim revealed.
“All the things I heard about the club, it really got to me, I just thought it was somewhere where we could build a women’s team up.
“I really am trying to build something special for the girls, we’re going to keep it (focused on) really good vibes, really good energy and help girls develop their skills.”
After recently directing a women’s side, Selim is excited by rapid development of female footy and is eager to deliver the guidance he once received.
“It’s super exciting, it’s unreal how much it’s jumped in the last few years,” he said.
“Covid was a bit of a speed bump, but it’s just sky rocketing and it’s so good to see.
“I am looking forward to being a part of something special for these girls and really just trying to shed that experience that we did, as men and as boys, growing up.”
The Berwick Springs men’s side plays an attacking-no fear brand of footy which Selim has vouched to encourage himself when his side takes the field next winter.
“Most definitely,” he revealed.
“Really exciting, really attacking brand of footy – we want to be up and about and put on a show for everyone to see.”
Selim has urged all women interested in playing for the Titans to get in contact: 0434615482.
