Upon returning to home to play professionally in her home state, Sam Poolman identified a pathway gap for young girls wanting to turn their sporting passion into something more.
​
Sam founded program called Aspire Netball to assist athletes to reach their goals and be a part of something bigger than just the game.
​
Aspire assists local netballer's not only in becoming successful on the court; it helps develop the life skills and personality traits that are vital to a career as an athlete.
Aspire Development 2026 — Coming Soon!
​
The two-week program focuses on skill development, injury prevention, education on landing technique, warm up and cool down education, attack, defence and creating thinking athletes through game sense. It is an exciting opportunity for players to receive coaching from professional netballer and local talent, Sam Poolman.
​
Our final session of the program is our CAMP — and it's one not to be missed! Delivered at Hunter Sports High School, players' learning is enhanced with sessions led by a nutritionist and physio, alongside team activities, fun and match play.
​
This is a unique opportunity designed to elevate the skills of aspiring netballers aged 11–12 years, hosted by local Associations across the Hunter and Central Coast regions. We can't wait to see you on court!
