Bungaree Football Netball Club is delighted to announce Bernadette Purton as our A & B Grade Netball Coach for the 2026 season!

Bernadette brings over 25 years of coaching experience across netball and rowing, she has worked with athletes from grassroots through to state and national levels. Her extensive background includes developing athlete pathways, fostering leadership both on and off the court, and contributing to the growth of community sport. Bernadette also holds a degree in Sport and Recreation Management and has worked within a State Sporting Association, bringing valuable insight into athlete and coach development.

In 2025, she led our B grade side to a Preliminary Final, showcasing her ability to develop strong, competitive teams while fostering a supportive and positive culture. When asked about her vision for the role, Bernadette shared “My vision is simple: to maintain and develop a playing group that is both healthy and happy. Over the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know the players across the program, and it’s clear that their energy and joy come from personal fulfilment as athletes, being part of a competitive team, and experiencing the rewards of winning together. My goal is to empower players to step confidently into leadership roles, strengthening both their own growth and the club’s future.”

We’re thrilled to have Bernadette leading our A & B grade sides into 2026 and look forward to the next chapter
