Netball ACT is pleased to announce the team officials who will lead our 17/U and 19/U State Teams at the 2026 National Netball Championships.
Stepping up to the Head Coach role for the 19/U team is Matthew Hills. Matt was part of the 2025 coaching team as Assistant Coach alongside now Singapore Head Coach, Tara Steell. He brings a wealth of experience to the role, having been involved in Netball ACT’s pathway programs for many years in various coaching positions. Joining Matt is Emily Clark, who takes on the Assistant Coach position after a successful year with the 17/U team in 2025. The team will also be supported by Team Manager, Bronwyn Motion, and Physiotherapist, Matt Rogers, who both bring great experience and care to the program.
Leading the 17/U team once again is Natalee George, returning as Head Coach after guiding the 2025 side through a strong national campaign. She will be joined by Assistant Coach, Carly Symons, who continues to play an important role in developing young athletes through the ACT pathway.
