Our Boronia Hawks Women’s Team thoroughly enjoyed their recent training session with Malcolm Bangs, a specialist tackling coach! Malcom runs a Tackles and Takedowns program that combines AFL tackling with judo principles and balance techniques. We were very fortunate to have Malcolm come down to work with the girls, and we are very grateful for his time. The feedback from the girls was very positive, and they continue to enjoy all their skills sessions with Senior Womens Coach, Ray Lacey.
Malcolm has extensive experience including clients such as Geelong FC (AFL), Carlton FC (AFLW), Werribee FC (VFL), Melbourne Uni WFC (VFLW), Calder Cannons FC, Eastern Ranges FC (TAC Cup / TAC Cup YG). He can now add the mighty Hawks to his resume! Be sure to check out Malcolm’s feeds on Twitter and Instagram at @malcolmbangsTT
