Rhiannon Downton

Head Coach Hoops Netball Club

I was first introduced to netball at school when I was 9, it quickly became my favourite sport. I joined a local club, played at county level and continued to play at university too. On leaving uni, I moved away from home, so I joined a local netball club to meet people, as well as play the sport I love. 15 years on, and many relocations later, I have found netball to be the one consistent thing in my life! Every time I’ve moved, I’ve joined a team!

Coaching has been quite a recent development for me and unlike most of the team, isn’t my main job; I run my own floristry business when not on the netball court. I took my Level 1 qualification about 4 years ago and joined Atorro soon after. I have since qualified as a Walking Netball Host and C Award Umpire, and am also soon to complete my Level 2 coaching qualification.
