A week after announcing the reappointment of A-grade coach Janelle Hobbs, the Roos have confirmed Jayden Cowling as their A-reserve coach.
He will be joined by Shellie Davies (B-grade) and Nina Cass (B-reserve), while star premiership centre Chelsea Sartori will take charge of the 17-and-under Roos.
Cowling steps up to A-reserve after leading the B-grade to premiership honours last season.
Well-known in BFNL circles as an umpire, he had an extensive playing career, including playing for the Australian under-23 team this year and previously with the national under-20s in 2013, 14 and 15.
Davies is in her third year with the Roos and coached the B-reserve team in 2016.
Club stalwart Cass, a premiership player with last season's B-grade team and an A-grade back-up, is making a return to coaching.
She has previous BFNL coaching experience and guided the Roos B-reserve team to a flag in their inaugural year.
Sartori, who represented North Central region at this month's state titles in Melbourne, is making the step up to 17-and-under coach after being an assistant the past three years.
The ace midcourter is a two-time premiership player with the Roos, having joined the club in 2014.
The quartet will provide quality support to senior coach Hobbs, who is back for her fourth season with the Roos after a successful stint in the LVFNL with YCW.
Cowling will have added responsibilities, with Kangaroo Flat fielding a development team in the Bendigo Strathdale Netball Association in 2017.
Players selected in the team will train with the Roos' 17-and-under team and provide player back-up.
The Roos have also announced Susan Borserio will take on the role of A-grade team manager, selector and skills coach.
Borserio has been a premiership coach of the Roos' junior team.
