We are fortunate that many of our girls play netball for St Mary’s and each year we have around 18 teams. For our Netball Program to be successful, it’s important that we have parents volunteer to coach and manage our teams. You will be well supported by our Sports Director and Leads for our Netball Program. We would be very grateful to have your support this year.
