CHRISTINE COWAN

(Miss C)

 

Head Coach

After years of coaching at local primary schools within the Eastern Suburbs,  and many years coaching  of Junior Representative teams, I was asked to coach throughout the wider community.

 

Over the last few years Blitz has taken many paths, taken on many new challenges but the foundation remains the same. - 'Basics First.'

 

I am a passionate coach with a background in teaching, although, the two settings and my  delivery in them,  are vastly different.  I have coached for many years and worked with a variety of age groups. in both outdoor and indoor netball.

Individuals attending Blitz will be able to notice quick improvement, provided they put the work in to the trainings  and, they 

apply the skills taught, to their game. 

Whole teams who attend, will make considerable impact on the court.

 

We are always available for any questions or guidance that 

specific teams or individuals may seek!   

 

 If your child has a passion for sport and a love of netball

 then come and join us!
