Lee Baker

Current coaching role(s): Kaos Division 1 Coach

Lee has enjoyed an illustrious career of playing and coaching in Melbourne and the UK, including recent coaching roles with Ellipsis and the Brisbane Breakers in the AUL. Lee’s addition to the coaching team brings a new perspective for an exciting 2023 season and allows us to finally complete the Baker family set, joining our beloved teammate KP and our fitness session running buddies Tom and Alex!

Get to know a bit of the Lee story:

My career highlight has to be 2006 worlds in Perth. As someone who had only been playing for 3 years, I got to play a vital defense and receiving role in a team that won bronze. I have a photo of me catching a goal in the quarter final against a very strong English Clapham team that reminds me of this tournament regularly.

As a coach, what is a personal attribute that you value in your athletes? My most valued off field behaviour is sideline talk. The ability to give to the team and contribute to winning without being on the field is massive.

My favourite potato based meal has to be a potato salad with egg, bacon, and lots of mayonnaise
