Amanda Doherty
amanda@antrimplayball.com // Mobile: 07566774520 Hi there, I'm Amanda and I have a BSc Honours Degree in Early Childhood Health Care and Education. I have a lot of experience of working in childcare settings and have been a playball coach for 6 years. I've come from a sporting background and have had a keen interest in Karate (represented Northern Ireland), Hockey and Boxing from a young age. From my previous experience in working in childcare settings and through my own sporting background, I have seen the impact the Playball curriculum has on children. The life skills Playball teaches, as well as the physical progression are crucial to develop well adjusted and balanced children, on the sports field and in the classroom. I've also experienced the importance of having a great coach as a role model for shaping my sporting journey which I am keen to replicate! |

Fiona Dolan
admin@antrimplayball.com // Mobile: 07566774520 Hi, I’m Fiona! I’ve played Gaelic at a high level, including provincial competitions, and I’ve also played netball, which gave me a love for team sports and active play. I started coaching at university, and I quickly discovered how much I enjoy helping children develop skills, confidence, and a love for being active. I’m also musical, which means I love incorporating creativity and dynamic activities into every session, making learning and movement fun for children aged 2–11. At Playball, I focus on creating engaging, safe, and exciting experiences that help children build physical skills, teamwork, and confidence, all while having fun! I’m thrilled to be part of the team, sharing my energy and enthusiasm with every child and school we work with. |
