THE DIRECTOR: BEAU DORIAN

The Director of Junior Footy Stars Beau Dorian has had an extensive background in the football landscape whether at Grassroots Level or at the Elite Level in the AFL. Beau’s football knowledge and ability to be able to teach kids not only the fundamentals of AFL, but also the finer points to become an elite footballer is second to none. Beau has coached AFL players Josh Worrell (Adelaide Crows) and Max Heath (St Kilda) as well as working closely with a number of other AFL players over the years.

While completing his tertiary studies, Beau was offered a 12 month placement with the Carlton Football Club. During this time, his work impressed the leaders at the footy club and Carlton FC offered him paid employment, which he thoroughly enjoyed, working on matchdays and being around the AFL players daily.

Beau’s passion for football and in particular junior player development is second to none. He believes that over his 11 years since he finished high school, he has coached over 1000 junior players from all around Melbourne. Beau has several current and former AFL/VFL players and coaches that he calls friends and looks forward to introducing them to Junior Footy Stars along the journey. Beau would like to thank everyone who has helped him during his time in the football industry and looks forward to this exciting new venture of helping young footballers develop into JUNIOR STARS.
