I currently play for the Adelaide Thunderbirds as a Centre and Wing Attack. With over 25 years of playing experience and 10 years coaching netball, I have a lot of knowledge to pass on to future generations wanting to improve their basic skills and develop their own individual game.
I had an early start to netball, I began playing at just 4 years of age, which sparked a love for the game that continues today. Over the past three years with the Lightning I have had the privilege of being coached by Noeline Taurua and Kylee Byrne. I feel not only my ability on court has improved, but also my coaching aptitude has been enriched. Previously, I have played for the Queensland Firebirds and captained the Queensland Fusion in the Australian Netball League. I was also a scholarship holder for three years at the Australian Institute of Sport, as well as being a member of the gold-medal winning Australian team at the 2009 World Youth Cup. More recently, I have been part of the Sunshine Coast Lighting in the Suncorp Super Netball we were crowned champions in 2016/1018 and runners up in 2019. In 2018 I was selected to play in the Australia Fast 5 team. This year I had the honour of being selected in the Australian Diamonds and becoming Diamond #178 whilst participating in the Constellation Cup. I have 12 years of experience coaching a variety of age groups and ability levels. In this time I have coached in schools, associations, clubs, net set go sessions, as well as, specialist coaching and personally run clinics. I am thrilled to coach athletes of variable age, ability and skill levels. I have a strong focus on basic skills, position specific agility and conditioning, court craft and developing the individual talent an athlete possesses. Coaching is something I find extremely rewarding as I especially love seeing the development of players skills, confidence and most importantly their enjoyment and passion for the game I love.

This is Henry's second session with Laura and once again he loved it. Laura really breaks everything down and explains why they are doing each drill and how to incorporate into game play. Henry said he learnt a lot and that everything will definitely help him improve. Great session, even better coach!
Laura was fantastic! Friendly, organised and clearly put the skills & drills into the context of a match. Definitely worth the time & money. My daughters were super happy with their session.
Laura provided an incredible session, personalised to what Lexi wanted to work on to prepare for upcoming trials. She has so much knowledge and experience to share and communicated it so well. Such a worthwhile and effective session.
Was absolutely amazing to have Laura run training for our 15s and 17s teams! With a big focus on the midcourt we are so excited to see the impact and improvement in their games! But the best thing was seeing the smiles and fun that was all over their faces :) what an opportunity!!!!!
Laura was lovely to do training with, all the kids loved her and took in a lot of knowledge from her! Would definitely recommend booking with her. Even had a good laugh after the training session
