Pamela Brown
12 years Representative Assistant Coach
Club: La Perouse Netball Club
Coach Accreditation: Intermediate
Coach Exp: I have over 30 years experience in most aspects of the game. Netball holds a special place in my life, it has paved a pathway for me to gain many life skills throughout the years and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I’m also head Netball coach at Matraville Sports High. Most importantly it has allowed me to pass on knowledge to a diverse group of players and grow old gracefully among many different age groups with a level of respect that focuses on knowledge and capabilities not your age, or your cultural background. I love the amount of learning & comradery netball offers with a level of respect for older women because it holds endless learning both on and off the court. It that has allowed my personal growth & to age gracefully among like-minded people.
Coaching Philosophy: I like to be involved with net set go programs at an association level to help build a safe space for Aboriginal players.
The end result is my starting point. Coaching for player development is my priority. Working on the fundamental skills with a goal of excellence and winning philosophy. Players should be able to execute the basic skills under pressure and maintain this throughout the game, with flare to which includes technical and tactical skills for individual growth.
Coach inspiration: My main focus is player centered. I like to do assessments at the start of the season to enable the formulation of an individual player plan to assist in player development for future pathways.
I take responsibility for leading the technical delivery of Netballs pathway
- strategy and driving the development of Indigenous netball talent to ensure
- sustained success.

Ma’u Naufahu
11 years Development Team Head Coach
Club: Marrickville All Stars
Coach Accreditation: Development
Coach Exp: 3 years club (netset go, 9’s, 11’s); 1-year rep (11’s dev.)
Coaching Philosophy: I believe that as a coach, I need to inspire girls to want to be the best version of themselves, to instil a strong mindset that embraces a challenge, and to encourage them to begin to develop a sense of accountability for their own level of commitment and effort put towards their development and their team. And of course have fun! (You play best when you are having fun)
Coach inspiration: My 13A’s Rep coach back in Brisbane. She trained me hard and during that season I was terrified of her because she had really high standards, pushed us really hard and I was always worried I would let the team down. That season, however, was the greatest improvement I have ever had, skill based and fitness wise, and since then I have attributed my success in all levels of my netball largely to her, her high standards, the demanding trainings, and the strong, competitive mindset she enforced upon me and my team. (Looking back, she was actually really nice; she just had really high expectations of us and no tolerance for excuses and anything less that 110% effort.)
SSN Team: Queensland Firebirds
Fun Fact: I have played netball for 10 years at various levels as of this year (started in grade 2)
How many years you’ve been club coaching: 3
