MEET THE COACHES

In recent years she has dedicated most of her netball time to upskilling herself as a coach.  She started her coaching at premier and age group representative level within Christchurch netball.  She brings with her a wealth of coaching experience.  Instrumental in the set-up of netball in her home state of Washington, Lisa’s enthusiasm and dedication to netball has seen the sport introduced at local schools and community centers. With the 2009 Nationals coming to Seattle in June, Lisa’s plate is certainly very full but her effervescent personality and total commitment to the game has a habit of rubbing off on others and the growth of netball in Seattle has been extraordinary. As a mother of two young daughters, Lisa is kept extremely busy both on and off the Netball court.
