NFNL 11&U Netball Development Academy Registrations Open


Published on Wednesday, February 28, 2024

Registrations are now open for the 2024 NFNL Netball 11&U Development Academy.

This academy will add a further element to the overall NFNL Netball Representative program which includes 13/U, 15/U, 17/U & open teams.

Further to the program’s launch, the NFNL is excited to appoint Pauline McLaren as the inaugural coach of the academy.

Pauline will be assisted by Sharlah McBain and Audrey Wilson and supported by NFNL Representative Head Coach Brooke George.

McLaren is currently the Head Coach at Ivanhoe Netball Club, overseeing the junior program, as well as coaching Ivanhoe in the NFNL Senior Competition. Previously McLaren had spent 4 years as the Head Coach of Doncaster & Districts Netball Association Rep Program.

She has multiple years of coaching experience under her belt at various domestic and competitive competitions, across all ages.

McLaren’s experience working with players of all ages, coupled with her Intermediate coaching accreditation, make her the ideal coach to develop our young netballers in preparation to step into the NFNL Representative Program.
