Sunderland College Sports Academy

Last night’s session was a windy one but lots of great work from the 19 girls who attended. Coaches players for session were Heidi Ditchburn, Jess Haugstad and Ella Gibson they totally smashed it.
There’s still time to sign up for the last session next week weather permitting.
Hope to see you all there. Wearside Wildcats Netball ClubPULSE Netball Club😍

🏐📣VOLUNTEER COACH OPPORTUNITY📣🏐

As Houghton Netball Club continues to grow, we are looking for a committed volunteer from within our club community to join our coaching team.

This opportunity is open to existing members of the club, parents/carers, current volunteers, or individuals who already have a connection to Houghton Netball Club and are passionate about supporting the development of our players.

You do not need extensive netball experience or any previous coaching qualifications. A basic understanding of the game, a willingness to learn, and a genuine commitment to helping our players develop are far more important.

We are looking for someone who is:

Reliable and committed
Enthusiastic and eager to learn
Passionate about supporting young people
Keen to develop their knowledge of netball
Interested in helping shape the future of our club
This is a fully voluntary role, and all coaching support provided to the club is on a volunteer basis.

To support your development, Houghton Netball Club will fund your England Netball Level 1 Coaching Qualification and provide ongoing mentoring and support throughout your coaching journey. Subject to future club needs and commitment, there may also be opportunities for further development, including support towards a Level 2 qualification.

Availability
We are ideally looking for someone who can commit to:
Tuesday evenings from 6:00pm – 8:00pm (essential)
Thursday evenings from 6:00pm – 8:00pm (preferred but not essential)
Supporting teams at league fixtures on Saturdays where possible (preferred but not essential, as committee members will always be present)
Commitment
As the club will be investing in your development and qualifications, we ask that applicants are willing to make a long-term commitment to supporting Houghton Netball Club and helping our players thrive.

This is an exciting opportunity to develop new skills, gain recognised coaching qualifications, and play a key role in the continued success and growth of our club.

If you feel this opportunity is right for you, please complete the application form below.

Thank you for your interest in supporting Houghton Netball Club.
