About us
Sue and Lyn have developed the one day series, drawing upon their years of experience both playing and, most importantly, coaching netball. Based in the "Wild West" of Australia, both have built up an extensive list of coaching positions from state and national competition, right through to
international appointments.
Whist their knowledge of the game is second to none, it is their ability to teach others their art that makes GBU the "jedi-masters" guide to coaching. Meet the sheriffs of the game!
