Developing Netballers For life
Welcome to Coaching at Oakhill Drive
There are many ways you can get involved with Oakhill Drive, and coaching is one of the most rewarding opportunities we offer. We appreciate that your first time coaching can be a daunting experience, so we provide a variety of support structures for our Coaches in order to ensure the best experience for you and our players.
We are always seeking to expand our pool of Coaches and to ensure that our Coaches continually develop. Contact our Coaches Convenor for more information at coaching@nulloakhillnetball.com.
Many of our Coaches began as Team Managers and/or Assistant Coaches. This provides an opportunity to learn more about coaching before taking on your own team, if needed.
We can provide direct support and mentoring at any stage of your coaching journey – just ask us and we will happily assist you.

inspire them to reach this bar,
encourage them, and most of all,
guide them in the best possible manner and
in the most supportive environment.”
