Our Coaches are central to the success of the club. Whilst roles are paid, they do give up a lot of time to plan sessions, attend games, keep up to date with current coaching practices and develop all players they come into contact with. All Coaches at Poly NC subscribe to a Coaching Code of Conduct and are CRB checked.

Coach Corner
Tip of the Week
Don't run before you can walk. You must build up to playing netball after a break, or the chance you could injury yourself increases. Build up by working on your aerobic fitness and relevate S&C exercises, none on which need a gym.
