She also has experience in developing coaches within performance netball whilst in her role as Coach Developer with Swiss Netball.

With a busy year ahead of Wales U21, Natalie will help prepare the players for the Netball Europe Youth Championships in May 2017.  They will then participate in the Netball World Youth Cup in Botswana in July 2017.

Natalie will begin in her role this weekend at a pre-Christmas U21 training camp. Natalie is very much looking forward to meeting the players and working with this exciting group of talented athletes leading into the World Youth Cup in July 2017.
