FORMER Hawthorn and Carlton premiership coach David Parkin will arrive in WA next month along with current Geelong Skills Acquisition Coach David Wheadon to head up an AFL Level Two Coaching Course.

Registrations are now open for the course, which will be held at Murdoch University on Saturday and Sunday, March 13 and 14. Key note presenters will include Parkin and Wheadon along with WAFL League coaches and WA State Academy Coaches Rob Wiley, Craig Starcevich and Brad Wira.

Local coaches were recognised at last month's Australian Football Coaches Association awards night in WA, recognising the efforts and achievements of community coaches at a District level.

The annual AFCA Awards Night, which followed an AFCA High Performance Coaching Course in Western Australia, was attended by special guest, Fremantle Football Club coach Mark Harvey, who presented the awards to State winners.

A TOTAL of 25 West Australians have been drafted to AFL clubs after another 10 players were rookie-listed in today's (December 15) AFL rookie draft.

This follows the selection of 13 WA players in last month's AFL National Draft, while two more were added to senior AFL lists in this morning's pre-season draft.

ANOTHER two West Australians have been added to AFL lists following the completion of this morning's (December 15) AFL pre-season draft.

Diminutive Claremont midfielder Ryan Neates was selected by West Coast with pick five, while East Fremantle's Kyle Hardingham was chosen at number seven by Essendon.

Neates played for Western Australia's undefeated State 18s side and produced a series of stunning sprints and leaps at the draft tests.

THE Australian Football Coaches Association hosted a High Performance Coaching Course in Western Australia last week, with coaches travelling from around the country to attend.

Commencing on Tuesday, December 1 and concluding on Sunday, December 6, the course was held at Subiaco Oval and featured presentations by former AFL coaches including David Parkin, Stan Alves, Neale Daniher and Rob Wiley.
