The netball community is abuzz with the exciting release of the new, innovative series of books called Netball Dreamz with Book Number 3 titled ‘a signatures, a discovery, a dance’ NOW ON SALE– suitable for 8 to 13 year olds. Netball Dreamz is an interactive, entertaining and informative novel which cleverly combines the excitement of fiction, with a host of netball activities, written by one of Australia’s top coaches and successful coaching manual authors, Gillian Lee.
With top reviews from netball greats such as: Australian coach, Norma Plummer; world champion and Vixen’s player, Bianca Chatfield and New Zealand’s Silver Ferns Coach, Ruth Aitken, the Netball Dreamz series is a must read for all young, netball enthusiasts. “Netball Dreamz is a fantastic series of books because it gets kids doing two of the most important things for them … reading and playing sport,” Chatfield said. “Parents always get frustrated when their children don’t read enough or aren’t active enough. I can’t think of a better way to get them to do both,” she said.

Leeanne always wanted to write a book like Netball Dreamz . Trouble was, she didn’t feel qualified to write the “how to play” section. Sure, she knew about netball, but there is a big difference between knowing about something and being an expert.
Gillian Lee is a netball expert – a High Performance Netball Coach. She has written several netball coaching manuals and even has a DVD series for coaches. Not only is she the head coach of a great State League netball club, she coaches other coaches. Now that’s an expert!
Several years ago, Leeanne worked with Gillian Lee as an apprentice coach. At their first training session together, Leeanne told Gillian about her idea for Netball Dreamz: a story containing netball coaching activities.
Gillian’s said, “Go for it.”
Leeanne went home and wrote the first 600 words of: Netball Dreamz a book, a dream, a plan. When Leeanne finally showed Gillian what she had written, it took no time at all for Gillian to say, “I love it. Let’s do it!”
And that’s how Netball Dreamz began.

“I gave a copy of Netball Dreamz to a friend’s daughter who is a keen reader in Grade 4. She has read the book twice and came to our house with the book and her netball. My daughter, Tess and her went outside and did activities from the book for ages, then decided to make up their own drills! Well done.” |
