STARS BEGIN NEW ERA

The South Coast Stars begin a new era next year with a name change to the Inverloch Stars and a move to a permanent home in the town at Thompson Reserve, Inverloch.  Season 2015 promises to be the biggest, most important year yet for the Stars with the relocation allowing for further expansion including an under 16's side and a call for new coaching staff for the Men's and Women's senior teams.

Since it was formed just 4 years ago the club has found success both off and on the pitch.  In this period the club has seen a burgeoning membership, a thriving junior set up and male and women’s senior teams which are now finals regulars.  Understandably the club are proud of their hard work and achievements in such a short time but one very important thing has always been missing; a home.

Formed in Inverloch, the club was always intended to represent the town in the local South Gippsland Soccer League but with no available ground in Inverloch the club were forced to look elsewhere, in the end they found temporary residence in the beautiful reserve at Outtrim about 20 minutes from Inverloch but training facilities have been a constant issue for the club.

Next year they will finally have a place to call their own. Drainage works at Thompson Reserve in Inverloch will make it a viable year round sporting venue and the Stars will be moving in to share the reserve with the Inverloch Cricket Club, with space for 2 soccer pitches, either side of the cricket wicket, the club has ample room for training and game days

To reinforce their identity with the town the club made the decision to change their name to the Inverloch Stars “many of us at the club have an attachment to the South Coast name but we want everyone to know we are an Inverloch based team who are proudly representing our local town” explains Gilbert “there are no soccer clubs between here and Foster so we still feel we represent the south coast, places like Tarwin and Venus Bay but we are proud to be an Inverloch team and proud to be the Inverloch Stars”

To mark the beginning of the new era the club is searching for 2 new coaches, for the Men's and Women's Senior teams respectively. Both teams have made the finals for the last 2 years and are looking to take the next step with new coaching staff on board.

Any interested parties or anyone looking for more information about the club should contact Gene Parini on  0428 066 028.
