The Redditch Arrows
are pleased to announce their coaching lineup for the 2008 BAFL season.
The new line up sees four new faces in the Arrows setup
Jamie Kilby will be taking over as Offensive Co-Ordinator, with Paul Williams, Mark Williams and Paul Roberts
joining the Arrows from the Birmingham Bulls.
Head Coach Ian Hill feels the new additions and changes will help the Arrows to continue the progress the club has made over the last two years. “There is no doubt that all of the new coaches bring both years of experience and vast knowledge to the team. We are already seeing the benefit of this in training and which hopefully will also be seen on the field when we start in May”.
The Arrows lineup is however still not fully finalised and it expected that further announcements will be made over the next few weeks.
