Nicole is the face behind 6S Netball. I have been involved with Netball in Tasmania for many years, as a Junior player, a State League player, a Tasmanian State player, and most recently a State League Coach. I was also an employee of Netball Tasmania before moving with my Family to the Gold Coast in December 2021. I am a huge advocate for Netball and the greater Netball Community and am extremely keen to continue my association with Netball in Queensland.
I currently coach here on the Gold Coast but also have coached all over Queensland, including as far up as the Sunshine Coast and down to Northern NSW, facilitating Netball Workshops for athletes, Coaches, Clubs and Associations.
I also offer 1:1 coaching, along with small to medium group clinics.
I hold my Intermediate Netball Coaching Accreditation and will be starting my Advanced Netball Coaching Accreditation this year.
As a parent of a young Netballer, who is just starting her own netball journey, I am incredibly passionate about ‘sharing my knowledge for all things netball’. Netball provides a unique opportunity for children to participate in a sport where each player is an important part of the team. Both the physical and social skills learnt during netball games and activities are easily transferred to other sports and everyday life.
As I mentioned above, I love sharing my knowledge of netball, by providing opportunities for children to develop as athletes, but more importantly as people, to become more confident within themselves, to commit themselves to a team environment, something that is ‘bigger’ than themselves, and to have the courage to try something new.
