Welcome to the Vipers Netball Club family! It is an absolute honour to return as President for a second year, and I’m excited to continue building on the foundations we have established together.
As a proud dad and passionate supporter of grassroots sport, my commitment to Vipers remains stronger than ever. Being part of this incredible club has shown me just how much netball means to our players, families, coaches, and volunteers. It’s about so much more than what happens on the court, it’s about building confidence, creating friendships, developing resilience, and bringing our community together.
Looking back on my first year as President, I’m incredibly grateful for the support, dedication, and commitment shown by our management committee, coaches, team managers, volunteers, players, and families. A community club like Vipers cannot thrive without the people who give their time, energy, and passion to make it all happen, and I want to sincerely thank each and every one of you.
As we head into the 2027 season, my focus remains on strengthening our club, encouraging participation at all levels, supporting our coaches and volunteers, and creating an environment where every player feels valued, included, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Whether you’re taking to the court for the very first time or continuing to develop your skills and leadership, there is a place for everyone at Vipers.
I’m also committed to working alongside our management committee to continue improving our club, embracing new opportunities, and ensuring that Vipers remains a positive, welcoming, and supportive environment for everyone involved. We may face challenges along the way, but by working together, communicating openly, and staying true to our values, we can continue to grow stronger as a club.
Outside of netball, I remain a family man who believes in teamwork, integrity, respect, and giving back to the community. These are the values I hope to continue bringing to my role as President, because I believe the strongest clubs are built not just on results, but on the people, relationships, and culture behind them.
To all our returning members, thank you for continuing to be part of the Vipers family. To our new members, players, and families, a very warm welcome and we’re thrilled to have you join us!
I look forward to another fantastic year alongside you all, filled with growth, teamwork, great memories, and plenty of Vipers spirit.
Let’s continue to grow together, support one another, and make the 2027 season one to remember!
Vipers on 3: 1,2,3 VIPERS!
