If there’s one person who lives and breathes netball, it’s our amazing coach.
Meet our founder and head coach, Ellie Moores. Ellie founded Valley Netball Club in 2021 with one simple aim: to give women in Rossendale somewhere welcoming to play netball, regardless of their age, experience or ability.
Despite juggling a full-time job, Ellie dedicates her time to mentoring, coaching and umpiring, while continuing to play herself and captain the Burnley Seniors netball team. Her passion for the sport and the people around it is at the heart of everything we do.
Five years ago, Ellie founded Valley Netball Club with a simple mission: to reignite ladies’ passion for netball, build confidence and get more people back on court. What started with that vision has grown into a friendly, supportive club where players can develop their skills, make new friends and enjoy being part of a team.
And now, Ellie is taking that passion one step further. As she takes over the Rossendale Netball League, the next chapter is all about breathing new life into the competition, creating more opportunities to play and welcoming more teams into the netball community.
Whether you're an experienced player, returning to the sport or looking for somewhere to start, our aim is to make netball accessible, enjoyable and inclusive for everyone.
More teams. More opportunities. More people falling in love with netball.
