David Dunbar ( VIP )
I have been in coaching for 25 years at various levels including being involved with AFL clubs for 13 years. I am also a Level 3 AFL Accredited High Performance Coach.
I have coached a number of young footballers that have been Drafted or Rookie Drafted into the AFL including players such as Aaron Davey, Harry Taylor, Adrian Deluca, Andrew Swallow, Chris Masten, Rhys Palmer(winner of 2008 AFL Rising Star),Cale Hooker, Josh Kennedy, Paddy Ryder as well as many others
I have been fortunate to have learnt my craft off a number of experienced AFL Coaches including Ken Judge, Rodney Eade, Paul Roos, Chris Connolly, Dean Laidley, Dean Bailey. I was also mentored for a number of years by David Wheadon.
Whilst I coach players in all the fundamentals of the game, I specialise in kick coaching/education
My playing career included 100 VFL games with Frankston and Port Melbourne, as well as a short summer stint with Nightcliffe in the NTFL.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
David is an extremely knowledgeable & passionate coach. He is a great communicator and teacher of the game. After just one session, our son Dylan came away feeling comfortable and excited about the prospect of working with David on an ongoing basis. David's coaching is 1st class and is a great environment for young players to learn and develop their skills.. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic
David has been great! He has focused on on the specific actions to become proficient on both sides of the body. He has given me drills to practice at home. Looking forward to learning more from David! Thanks, Hamish

Patient, knowledgeable and a great coach
My son has had a number of sessions with David to focus on his kicking. David has given him a number of exercises and tools to use to practice at home and is always patient and clear in explaining how to do things. Would highly recommend.

Coaching
Fantastic coach. Explains everything well, gives lots of points to work on in your own time to keep improving as well as making you feel at ease during the session.

Cooper SimpsonFootballer
David is a great coach
After two sessions with David, I am already improving my skills around opposite foot kicking and my confidence to protect myself when gathering a ground ball. David is very good at giving instructions and I really enjoy his coaching.

Mathew McWilliamsFootballer
Gary McWilliams
David has applied his knowledge and experience to identify the specific development needs of my son and tailor sessions that are appropriate to his needs rather than taking a one size fits all approach. In addition to the skills we requested to be focused on, we are seeing development across all elements of Mathews game (physical, mental, broad based skills and game craft). The sessions provide true value for money as well as knowledge and experience that won't be found in other football programs. A great experience for any aspiring young footballers and their parents.

Brodie SnooksFootballer
Amazing
I’ve done 3lessons with David and I highly recommend him for young and older footballers. David has taught me so much in just 3 lessons and I can already see improvement. David has taken me back to the fundamentals of the game so I can understand the right technique. David is a great coach who understands the game at a really high level and is the best I’ve trained with. David has been a professional coach and is an expert in kicking. I highly recommend training with David, you won’t regret it. Brodie snooks

John Beswick
A great coach, knows what he is taking about. Gets you to work on your all round game, not just what you need to work on. In my case kicking, knows what he is taking about, wants to see you improve and gives good feedback when you do

Sam found the session with David fantastic! He really enjoyed all the varied exercises and the guidance and coaching of David. He will definitely have more sessions with David in 2020

Luis SariFootballer
Spot on!
David has been spot on for Luis’ coaching sessions. Luis has definitely built his strength and agility and ability to use both sides of his body with all footy skills. David has kept Luis attention and while each each session has been building skills, no 2 sessions have been the same. David is a great communicator and constantly motivates Luis to go stretch bit further and believe in himself. Thanks David.

David is an excellent coach. He communicates well and is able to get the best out of a player. We have noticed a real improvement in our daughter’s football skills over the past 2 months. She is really enjoying the sessions

Jake VorrathFootballer
Coaching to be a Complete Footballer
Jake (13) only started football this year so we wanted to get him some help with his kicking technique...David has significantly improved his kicking but is also teaching him how to become a more complete footballer through marking, ball gathering and hand balling drills. He is Importantly giving him techniques to best protect himself on the field...
