Lions Announce Appointment of New Head Coach

The San Diego Lions are pleased to announce the appointment of our new head coach, Shaun Beattie. Shaun is an AFL Level 1 certified coach who moved to San Diego from Melbourne in February of 2010. In Melbourne, he was the senior coach of Black Rock Football Club, a division 2 club in the Southern Football League. Shaun also previously played with the under 19's and reserves of St Kilda.

The Lions would like to thank Simon Schenk for his years of service as head coach of the Lions. We look forward to seeing him back on the field focusing on his footy without having to also balance coaching duties.

Lions Season Kickoff - February 5

The San Diego Lions will be kicking off the season on February 5 with our first training session of the year. Training will be held at Dusty Rhodes Park in Ocean Beach starting at 1pm. There will be a club barbecue after training and everyone is welcome. So if you're a veteran member of the club or if you've never played before and are keen to get involved, come out for a kick.
