OUR COACHING PHILOSOPHY
Didsbury Netball Club relies on the involvement of parents and volunteers to help run the club day-to-day, lead coaching sessions and manage our involvement in leagues and tournaments
We actively encourage parents to get involved, both in helping us grow our England Netball Level 2 and Umpiring capability which the club will fund, but also through getting involved with the management committee, supporting at training or taking on a Team Manager role with the club.
​
All coaches, officials and volunteers sign up to the clubs' Official Code of Conduct
If you are interested in getting involved please reach out to volunteers@didsburynetball.co.uk
