This award caps off a great year for Tony, who was also was the winner of the same award in the Subiaco District.

Tony has been coaching at the Karrinyup Saints in the Auskick program for the last couple of years

“Tony has been a fantastic contributor to the Karrinyup Saints and the Subiaco District. He goes above and beyond his role of coach to ensure that all his kids are offered a positive experience which is unmatched by any other.” Ben Haywood, District Manager said.

2011 saw Mr. Hristianopoulos bring his kids down to the Good Friday home game to play at half time. He also held his end of season windup at the Subiaco Football Club.

It’s these kinds of initiatives, which Tony is a key driver that adds to his player’s experience of the game and ensures they come back year after year.

It is hoped that Tony continues to coach in the coming years and he sets a high standard for the other coaches within the Subiaco district.

Congratulations Tony.
