Netball Coaching from Ex England Player
Prep were delighted to be joined by Hellen Manufor for a coaching session and learn from her extensive knowledge of the game.
Hellen was recently announced as Head Netball Coach at Aldenham school. Hellen was recently appointed to the Board of Wales Netball as the first ever Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Director. Hellen has wide experience in netball and sports covering a range of roles including: International Brand Manager for Gilbert Netball, a Commonwealth Games medallist as a player and a coordinator for Team Nigeria at the 2012 Olympic Games. She has also played an instrumental role in the re-introduction of netball to Nigeria over the last 20 years.
In addition to her work in sport, Hellen has been involved with a range of charity work. This includes UNICEF’s work in Nigeria which has helped to tackle inequality and poverty amongst girls aged 12-18.
She brings with her a wealth of experience, knowledge and insight from the world of netball and we are delighted that she will be working with Aldenham pupils in the role of Head Coach.
