We caught up with Julie Fitzgerald, head coach of GIANTS Netball, about her journey from grassroots through to league netball coaching.

Find out how Julie is giving back to the next generation of aspiring coaches through her coaching course, Fitzy in the Making.

Following a devastating fire, Ballina Netball Association's clubhouse was burnt down.

Their President, Julie takes us through what it was like during those challenging times and how they rebuilt the club with the help of the local community.

Being coached by former Australian Diamond Captain, Liz Ellis AO, is a dream for many netball fans.

But for 2 lucky teams at Ballina Netball Association, it's a reality as the netball star volunteers her time, skills and knowledge to the future players of the game.

Coaching young netballers is a tough gig. It’s even harder when you’re not an expert in the game.

Meet Wayne; the sport-loving WA dad who took on a pack of under-10s and became a court-side hero.
