Debbie Hallas
Netball UK was the innovation of Debbie back in 2000, a player, coach and umpire she recognised the lack of options for kit and equipment within netball and how important this is particularly around on court footwear and kit. Instigating the first netball range from ASICS and developing new style dresses Debbie ensures we are always pushing the boundaries for the best kit and equipment in the game.
She started playing netball at junior school and joined Oldham Netball Club when it formed its first junior team in 1989. She progressed through to the National Premier League senior side and was part of the team that rose through five divisions in six seasons. In 2011, Debbie stepped away from playing (well, apart from the occasional appearance…) to take over coaching the team. She has guided them to 12 Premier League titles in 14 seasons. Also a qualified L2 coach and B Award umpire, Debbie lives and breathes netball and has built experience in the sport at every level.
