The Football Tasmania family is today mourning the passing of former colleague and friend Dale Itchins.
Dale worked for Football Tasmania from 1997-2016, primarily as Futsal Manager and special projects officer, and was instrumental in establishing the State’s futsal competition as we know it today.
He also coached numerous football camps and clinics for young players, and more recently worked with Glenorchy Knights and Olympia football clubs.
Acting Football Tasmania CEO David Smith said: “We remember Dale as our friend and colleague, but also as a great mentor and advocate for the sport we love.
“He was a passionate driver of the round ball game in Tasmania, and we acknowledge his enormous contribution.
“Our sympathies are with his family and friends today.”
