The Border Raiders are making moves away from the pitch — on the hunt for a women’s coach and looking to introduce two new junior sides.

Leadership of the women’s program will look a bit different next season, as Paige Pinson hands over co-coaching responsibilities.

So the club is searching for some assistance for Amelia Richardson.

In fact, the Raiders are now taking expressions of interest for coaches and officials in all their competitive senior and junior teams.

Just submit the form by Wednesday, December 9, when the EOIs close.

There is expected to be at least two new positions available as the club plans to enter new teams into Football Victoria Bendigo competitions.

One will be an Under 16 girls side, the other a boys team in the youth league.

The latter — if introduced — should create a stronger development pathway in the men’s program.

And the team is expected to include many of the maestros who won the Under 16 championship this year.
