Introduction

Coaches are an important part of our netball workforce and play a pivotal role in creating positive sporting experiences and providing inclusive, safe and fair environments for participation.

Coaching can be rewarding, however it is important to acknowledge the time, commitment and planning it takes to develop and mentor players. Including to ensure they have a fun and enjoyable experience that has them wanting to come back again.

At Raiders Allstars we value our coaches and the major contribution role they paly within our club. We always encourage our coaches to contribute to a player centred approach.
