Meet the team

Name:  Jo Beveridge

Role: Head Coach

I created GGNA because…back in 2007 there was no girls team sports for my daughters. I asked IIL if I could create a Netball team and the rest is history!  Team sports for girls so important, they learn so many life skills that take them on into adult life. Inspiring the girls to achieve more than they thought possible and watching them simply enjoying running around with friends, is one of my favourite pastimes.
