Former Australian Diamond Joanne Morgan will be joining forces with Fiji Pearls Head Coach Simone Nalatu and Assistant Coach Vaiti Waqatabu as part of the five-day high-performance camp with the Baby Pearls.

The Baby Pearls are preparing for the Netball World Youth Cup in Gibraltar, UK, from September 19th to 28th.

Netball Fiji says this exciting initiative is part of their ongoing commitment to elevate the standard of elite netball in the country and prepare our national athletes for upcoming international competitions.

They say Morgan brings a wealth of international experience to the court, having represented Australia at the highest level and with her knowledge of coaching, leadership, and on-court vision, she will provide invaluable learning opportunities for both players and coaching staff.

Netball Fiji President RubyAnn Sorovaki says they are honoured to welcome Morgan to Fiji, and her presence will be incredibly inspiring for our athletes.

She says this is a testament to their commitment to building excellence through international collaboration.

Sorovaki says they are also very excited at the huge learning opportunity where club and district coaches have been invited to be part of the sessions during the Baby Pearls training camps.

The five-day training camp consists of 2 daily specialist and team sessions with national squad members.
