Welcome Sio Kite!
GPS Rugby Club is excited to announce the appointment of Sio Kite as the Head Coach of Colts 1 for 2021!
Sio returns to GPS in a head coach role, having last been involved at the club as the Reserve Grade coach in their memorable double-extra-time Grand Final victory in 2019! Before that, he was a member of our 1st Grade side before making the transition into coaching our Reserve Grade side where they won many Grand Finals. He then took up an opportunity to coach 1st Grade at Norths and did a great job developing their program while he was there. Sio is an articulate communicator who empowers the playing group and gives players a lot of time and respect. Every GPS program he has been apart of, there has been success.
Sio and the extended Kite family have been a part of the GPS fabric for a long time, and we are looking forward to having Sio on board again in an official capacity!
He will be supported by GPS Old Boy Lewis Torkington after many successful years coaching Wests Reserve Grade. It is great to also have Torko back at the club! Welcome back Sio and Lewis.
