Netball WA is excited to announce Tracey Swami as the new Competition Manager and Australia Men’s netball legend Guy Keane as West Coast Fever Talent Coach.
In a strategic move for the organisation, the Competition Manager role will transition from the Community to the Performance and Pathway department.
This move will allow WANL, WA’s premier state league competition, to be closely aligned and integrated into the organisation’s high-performance department, ensuring it is well placed to assist in the development of the State’s best netball talent.
As part of the restructure, Tracey Swami will move from the role of Talent Coach to Competition Manager.
Tracey’s experience as a player and coach who was developed in the system, as well as her strong connections to the Club’s High-Performance Team will play in key role in the evolution of the competition.
She will be able to build strong relationships with key stakeholders and make strategic decisions to ensure the WANL competition can continue to develop and produce players, coaches and officials to succeed at the next level.
As a result of this internal appointment and in a major coup for Fever’s underpinning programs, Guy Keane has been appointed as the new Fever Talent Coach.
Guy is an Elite level accredited coach and will move to WA from Victoria and take up his new role in mid-November. He will bring with him a wealth of experience as a Victorian and Australian men’s player and a decade of experience coaching throughout the elite netball pathway in Victoria.
He most recently was the assistant coach of the Collingwood Magpies at the Australian Netball Championships and in 2021 was the head coach of the Hawks in the Victorian Netball League.
Guy also plied is trade in the Victorian State Team programs and is passionate about developing and supporting young athletes along the journey.
As part of the transition, Tracey will closely work with Guy to support him as Talent Coach until the end of this year.
