Leigh Poholke - Senior Football Coach

Leigh comes to us following a three year tenure as playing senior football coach of the Sorrento Football Netball Club who compete in Division 1 of the Mornington Peninsula League.Leigh has an exceptional playing record as a 190cm key forward having played 14 seasons of football at Sorrento including 237 games with an impressive tally of 774 goals during this time. He has been a WorkSafe Victoria AFL Victorian Representative player for four consecutive years from 2012 to 2015 and is a much respected figure throughout the MPFNL and within the Sorrento Football Netball Club.

Leigh has strong ties to Moe having spent his formative years growing up in the town before moving to the Mornington Peninsula and his father Tracey still resides in Tanjil South. We are wrapped that Leigh has been able to reconnect with his roots and return to his town of origin to continue his stellar footballing career.

At 31 years of age, Leigh has a lot of good football left in him and is determined to make his mark on our club and league as a senior coach by implementing standards and game plans that have been developed over his outstanding football career to date.

Theme Song

 

Roll out the pennant

We’ll be the premiers this year

We’ve got the players, who

Don’t know the meaning of fear

All our supporters will be

There to see what we do

Two thousand and 25 is the year for

The maroon and blue

2 – 4 – 6 – 8

Who do we appreciate

M – O – E
