Two Victorians are part of the Australian Hockey teams. Chris Ciriello, winner of the Moorabbin Districts Hockey Club Under 17 Best and Fairest in 2001, member of the Moorabbin premiership teams for U15 A in 2000, and U13 A 1998, will be playing in Kookaburras, while Rachael Lynch is playing in her first Olympics in the Hockeyroos. Chris has come back to the club in the last few years to share his amazing skills especially around the drag flick. Rachael has not coached at Southern, but several of our goalies have received coaching from Rachael during specialist goal keeping clinics in Melbourne.
Long time Olympian and superstar Jamie Dwyer visited Southern for a clinic in 2013.
