Meet the Coach
Majura Challenge The Majura Quiz News in brief. Player Profile: 1.Ben Basser-Silk Pee Wee Girl Program
Meet the Coach: Margaret (4 games to date.) Margaret is Coach of Under 10 girls team, The Tsunamis. “I’ve never coached before but I saw we needed a Coach and I thought why not. “I’d played in games with kids and adults before so had a bit of an idea of the rules and the point of the game. My mate Eamonn was a great help showing me a few drills to get started. “I then went along to the Coerver Coaching Clinic offered at Majura recently. I was the only woman there, which I was surprised at. I didn’t realize coaching was so boysey (where are you gals?).Anyway the clinic was fantastic, and I came away inspired.

Tsunami Under 10 Isabella on the ball and Otilya in support.
“Without wanting to sound like an ad, I learnt a lot of great drills and learnt that the most important thing for kids is confidence with ball skills.
Coerver Coaching? FYI: A number of Majura 6-12 year olds have signed up for the July school hols coaching clinic.
“So that’s a big part of what the girls and I work on at training. I try to instill in the girls that the game is about having fun and giving it a go. “They all get so excited when they score a goal so I really try to emphasise how great that is, and take the focus off winning. “I’ve had a vote of confidence from my daughter with the training drills so I must be going okay. “I’d encourage anyone to get involved. The skills you bring from Netball, Rugby or other sports are very similar and the kids just need lots of practice and encouragement. And a coaching clinic or two and you’re on your way.”
