Announcing the 2026 Senior Women’s Victorian Head Coach – Michelle Davies

We’re thrilled to welcome Michelle Davies as Head Coach of the Victorian Women’s Lacrosse Team for 2026.

Michelle says:

“I’m incredibly excited and grateful to accept the role of Head Coach for the Victorian Women’s Lacrosse Team in 2026. This opportunity comes at a perfect time and aligns strongly with preparation alongside the Australian Women’s Field Team as we head to Japan in July for the World Championships. I’m passionate about helping athletes grow, building a strong team culture, and driving high-performance standards, and I look forward to working closely with the playing group and wider lacrosse community to continue strengthening the Victorian program.”

We can’t wait to see Michelle bring her passion, expertise, and leadership to the Victorian program in 2026!
