The first training camp will be this week (27-30 January)  at the University of Pretoria. The Assistant Coaches are Burtha de Kock, Prof Chipeya and Reg Sharp.

Elize joined the University of Pretoria as TuksNetball Head Coach in 2004. She is the heart of the club and the inspiration behind the club’s excellent performance. Her passion and love for netball inspire all netball players to embrace their potential and become the best that they can be.

Her attention to individual development sets her apart from other team coaches. In 2010 Elize did not just focus on the team dynamics but also spend countless hours developing the Tuks players individually, preparing them for any possible challenge. Her loyalty towards TuksSport and TuksNetball in particular is evident in the way she leads the club. Elize fights for what she believes in. She has the highest standard and encourages her players to set the standard, not just reach the standard. To her it’s not just about netball, it’s about life. She develops the players and coaches at the club to become high performers on and off the netball court.

In 2010 she coached the Gauteng North A team that won both the SPAR National Netball Championships and NSA Merit Tournament, the Thunderbirds that came second in the national league and Tuks 1 that won the Gauteng North title.
 
She also deserves most of the credit for Erin Burger being named Player of the Tournament at both the SPAR National Netball Championships and NSA Merit Tournament; Leigh-Ann Zackey named Defender of the Tournament at both the SPAR National Netball Championships and NSA Merit Tournament; 3 players in the SA Protea team; 4 in the SA A squad; 2 SA u.19 players; 12 Gauteng North representatives at the SPAR National Netball Championships (gold medal winners); 10 Gauteng North representatives at the NSA Merit Tournament (gold medal winners); 7 Gauteng North B representatives at the SPAR National Netball Championships (silver medal winners); 10 Gauteng North u.21 representatives at the SPAR National Netball Championships (bronze medal winners) and 9 Gauteng North u.19 representatives at the SA u.19 National Netball Championships.
