We are extremely pleased to announce Leonardo (Leo) Villa will continue with IBU, and will head up the development of our juniors and youth players in 2020. Leo is excited about taking the lead on the focus of developing our junior and youth players across all of the club. He is very keen to see greater involvement in all teams across those grades, and bringing to them some of his Argentinian flair!
In addition to Leo, we will be joined by James Prosser to head up development of our youth players and coach our senior firsts team in 2020. James previously coached at IBU taking the first team back in the day that Paul Muollo reigned supreme! He is excited at being back at IBU and working on building a competitive line up for the 2020 season, while continuing to develop our senior youth players, as the stars of tomorrow. James has been responsible for bring over to NZ several US university coaches, and also for getting scholarships for local players into US universities (including ex-IBU player, Will Forrest).
Leo and James will be supported by Jack Doyle who joined us in 2019 and will work across various teams in the club. Thanks and welcome back Jack!
