Head coach excited to return to Australia’s Team Outback
John Leijten is back on familiar ground with the Australian Outback national team. The preparation timeframe is short, the distance to travel to compete is considerable and the opponent lying in wait presents a significant obstacle.

He’s been here before, leading the Australian men’s national team in Austria in 2011 and the United States in 2015. John has also gone up against some upcoming opponents and coaches as a member of the Team Europe staff at the NFL Global Junior Championships, notably Canada and Australia’s opening opponent Japan.
