Head Coach & Netball Specialist

Lace Up with Lucy

Hi, I’m Lucy! A GS/GA now based in Sydney, after moving from Adelaide to chase my dreams. Netball has been a huge part of my life since I was 8, and my pathway through state programs, national squads, and into the elite level has taught me the value of hard work, resilience, and backing yourself.

I’m currently finishing my Master of Teaching, and alongside my playing career, coaching is something I’m incredibly passionate about. I’m excited to work with netballers not just on their physical skills and game understanding, but also on the mental side of performance — building confidence, routines, and belief under pressure.

I love creating a space where athletes feel supported, challenged, and motivated to improve. Whether it’s refining skills, preparing for trials, or growing confidence on court, I’m here to help players take the next step in their journey.

“I love my netball sessions with Lucy! Lucy inspires me to try new things and to play better netball. I can’t wait to try my new moves and hope one day I’ll play top netball like Lucy.”

“From the very first session with Lucy, I’ve been learning new techniques — from shooting to movement. You can see the improvements game by game. She explains everything clearly and makes sure you understand why each drill matters. She also encourages you to push yourself so you can be your best on court.”
