Kiri Wills Appointed National Development Coach
Netball New Zealand (NNZ) is pleased to announce the appointment of Kiri Wills to the role of National Coach for the National Development Squad, including the NZA and NZU21 teams.
NNZ Chief Executive Hilary Poole says Wills will be a great addition to the High Performance team at Netball New Zealand.
“We are thrilled to have Kiri join us at NNZ and we believe the skills she brings in the high performance coaching space will be a real asset to Netball New Zealand” she said.
“We are committed to developing our talented Netball coaches and Kiri is certainly one of those. We are excited to have her join the NNZ family.”
Wills has impressive coaching pedigree and is currently in NNZ’s Performance Coach Advance programme. In 2014, Wills coached Netball Northern Zone U23 team, was the caretaker coach of the NZU21 team and last year filled the role of Northern Mystics assistant coach under Ruth Aitken.
Wills will work closely with the newly appointed Head of High Performance Steve Lancaster and Silver Ferns coach Waimarama Taumaunu in ensuring all players in the high performance programme receive a nationally consistent approach in regards to their development and outstanding programme content.
