Cathy Deans

Life Membership Awarded: 2020

Cathy Deans has been a player, coach, umpire and committee member. Most notably, it is because of Cathy’s involvement, guidance and construction of a junior program that facilitates growth of all players holistically as a netballer and a person that Pints is so well renowned. The club held a record of the most amount of junior teams for numerous years because of the support and structures in place to welcome players as a family and foster a community that gives back to the growth of themselves and others. Cathy was able to build upon a junior program that encouraged others to contribute to the club and strengthen others around them, girls uplifting girls. As well as giving themselves the confidence they needed to be active, give things a go and have an outlet where they felt important and valued. Our club remains one of the most successful juniors clubs in the DNA competition to this day.
