Coaching Announcement

Hugo Barber-Dale, Women’s First Team Coach

We’re excited to announce that Hugo Barber-Dale will continue as Head Coach of our Women’s First Team for the 2025 season!

Hugo stepped into the head coach role midway through the 2024 season, guiding the team through a tough season. While the results weren’t what the team had hoped for, the players were proud to compete under his leadership.

Looking ahead, Hugo is already planning for next season and is determined to help the team reach new heights. “Seatoun Park is our superpower, and no one wants to play us here – let’s embrace that!”

We can’t wait to see what the 2025 season brings with a full preseason under his leadership. New players interested in joining Seatoun women's teams can register their interest through this form, we’ll then contact players with preseason details once dates are confirmed.
