Karley’s credentials as an elite coach and player, mentor, touch football innovator, skilll acquisition expert and all round touch tragic, uniquely places her at the forefront of coach education for touch athletes and coaches alike.
Her expertise and special talent in designing appropriate and effective activities for improved performance would be invaluable for those seeking to improve their game. Karley’s experience gives her a very good handle on what is required to develop a range of levels and abilities. So if you want to be better on your touch journey - check out Karley’s resources.'

Renee Watson
England Women's 40s Coach
'There’s no doubt in my mind that Karley is one of the top 5 most gifted Touch Footy coaches in history, though my opinion matters little compared to her demonstrated record of success, particularly with the Doyalson Dragons and her Australia teams. Her technical and tactical understanding of the game is nothing short of Matrix-like, you can almost see the stream of moves and counter-moves playing out in her mind at eye-watering pace.
The thing that really sets her apart is her innate ability to see an athlete’s potential and tune into that, bringing out their best for the benefit of the team. This is how she generates such astonishing team cohesion, which I believe is the secret to her success. Karley is a generous, inclusive and insightful coach whose friendship and support has been a highlight of my coaching career.'
Luke Chapman
New Zealand Men's Open &
Māori All Stars Coach
'Karley Banks is an outstanding, innovative and very successful coach. Having played against her Over 35s Australian Touch team at the 2019 Touch World Cup in Malaysia, coached against her at the 2025 All Stars Indigenous Game in Parramatta, and against her NSW Men’s Open team on the 2025 NZ Māori's tour of Australia, I saw firsthand her ability to maximise performance. She selflessly volunteers her time and expertise at all levels, consistently getting the very best from her teams, athletes and coaches she assists the world over.'
John Ennis
Ireland Men's Open Coach & Player
'I have competed against teams coached by Karley over a number of years and have always been impressed by the clarity, structure, and consistency of her coaching. Her teams are well drilled, tactically sound, and clearly developed with purpose.
As Head Coach of Ireland Men’s Open, I have also benefited from Karley’s willingness to share advice and insight, which has been thoughtful, practical, and grounded in real high performance experience. She is a coach who genuinely elevates both players and fellow coaches.'

NSW 15yrs Touch & Rugby Rep
'Coach Karley Banks has helped me a lot in touch footy, not just with my skills but also with my confidence. She always believes in me and knows how to bring the best out of every individual in the team.
Whenever you’re feeling down or stressed, her presence alone is calming and makes you feel supported. She creates a positive environment where you feel comfortable, motivated, and ready to give your best. Having a coach like Karley is a game changer and makes a big difference both on and off the field. I feel incredibly blessed to have Karley as a coach and mentor.'

Jula Zilic
Parent, Elite Netball Coach & Touch Manager
'Karley Banks is an outstanding touch football coach with an incredible understanding of the game. She has a real gift for teaching and breaking things down in a way that players genuinely understand and can apply.
Karley is deeply invested in the development of both the sport and the young people she coaches, always going above and beyond to bring out the best in them. Her knowledge, care, and passion make a lasting impact on every player she works with.'
Rachel Byrne
Principal
Hunter Sports High School
'I had the privilege of working with Karley at Hunter Sports High School from 2014 to 2020, where she led the Touch Football Targeted Sports Program. She is an exceptional coach with a proven ability to develop beginners while simultaneously extending elite athletes.
She consistently built strong foundations for developing players and challenged high performing athletes to excel at regional, state, and national levels. Her programs delivered results, but her greatest strength was her ability to get the best out of everyone. She created positive team cultures, set high expectations, and earned the trust of students, parents, and staff.
Professional, organised, and deeply knowledgeable in athlete development, she led with clarity and purpose. I would confidently recommend her to any school, organisation, or athlete seeking a coach who develops both performance and people.'

Australian Rugby League Player & Australian Hockey and Queensland Basketball players
'Karley is one of the most instinctive and technically sound coaches I’ve worked with. Having played alongside her at Queensland and Australian levels, I’ve seen firsthand her ability to break down movement, agility and decision making in a way that is simple, practical and highly effective.
I’ve used Karley’s tippy tap and footwork drills across multiple sports, including basketball and hockey, to develop quick feet, body positioning and confidence in young athletes. Her coaching translates across codes and levels, and her impact is immediate and lasting.'
