Chris Graham - Leagues Manager
Chris has been playing netball since the age of 8, and has always loved it as a sport, because you *have* to play as a team to drive the ball towards the goal. Her passion for teaching others has led to a change of career in the last 4 years, after 20 years in food and drink marketing she moved to a full time coaching role encompassing PE Teaching and Netball Coaching.
Chris is a Level 2 Netball Coach, Head of PE at a local primary school, Director of Netball at Spencer Netball Club, and you will often see her delivering camps and sessions on Clapham Common - in fact if you've played netball locally at primary school, chances are you have already seen Chris in action! As a C award Umpire, she keeps her hand in at a senior level, and is a qualified first aider with a current Child Safeguarding certificate.
