Fareham Fireflys Netball Club
Due to the sudden and unexpected passing of our beloved head coach Richard Vaughan, Fareham Fireflys is seeking a Head Coach to help us continue his legacy and help rebuild our lovely club after the worst possible few weeks for our Fireflys Family.
Richard was the heart and soul of Fireflys and is utterly irreplaceable, he gave so much of his time to supporting the club and players but without him we really need to find coaches to ensure the club can continue to offer playing and coaching opportunities for the girls which is what we know Richard wanted.
We need someone who can lead the Club’s development and performance direction, personally coach individual teams, provide experienced mentoring to our newly-qualified coaches, and enable us to continue to provide our range of participatory and performance netball to our players. We would also welcome interest from other coaches to build up our coaching team across the range of ages and abilities of our Club.
About Fareham Fireflys
Fareham Fireflys is a vibrant netball club based in the Fareham/Portchester area of Hampshire. With over 140 active members across fifteen teams ranging from our ‘Minis’ Under 10 team to our three Adult teams, we offer a netballing home for players new to the sport up to providing performance opportunities at County and potentially Regional level.
The Club prides itself on not turning any player away, subject to capacity. Our Orange development teams offer the opportunity for any player to learn and develop their netball skills, training weekly and playing in the relevant division for their age group in the Fareham-based All About Netball league. Our Black performance teams also train weekly and generally play a year above their age group in the All About Netball league, as well as playing in the Hampshire Netball league. Two of our Black teams will be trialling for or competing in their respective South Region leagues in the 2025-26 season.
The Club is financially healthy with an active and engaged Committee. We have a growing membership stretching across the Solent area including the Hamble Valley, Fareham, Gosport, Portsmouth, Waterlooville and the Meon Valley, with active waiting lists for several of our groups where we are at maximum capacity of our current coaching team
