The Bloods this year won their first netball premiership for 16 years with their B reserve team and are hoping that can be a catalyst for more success on court in 2017.
The first step in that process is confirming their coaching panel.
Coaching the A grade and A reserve sides will again be Benita Swatton, who joined the Bloods this year having previously coached at Strathfieldsaye and Heathcote.
The Bloods’ A grade side has plenty of work to do if it’s to challenge for a spot in the top five next season after winning just four games – all against Castlemaine – the past two years.
In charge of the B grade and B reserve teams will be Kiralee Beacham.
The B reserve team was the premiers this year after defeating Golden Square by three goals in the grand final.
And combining the role of coach of the under-17s and the Bloods’ development team will be Liz Taylor.
“Our ultimate goal is to have all grades sitting in the top five in 2017. We are under no illusions we have a lot of hard work ahead of us, but we are up for the challenge,” Taylor said at the weekend.
The Bloods – who are having new netball courts built at Harry Trott Oval – are holding try-outs on November 15, 17 and 20.
