SKYCITY Mystics confirm Performance Specialist Coach

Jenny-May Clarkson will join the SKYCITY Mystics for their 2017 ANZ Premiership campaign as a Performance Specialist Coach.

Clarkson (nee Coffin) has a long history with the SKYCITY Mystics, having already coached and played at the Club; including a stint as an assistant coach in 2011 and 2016.

Clarkson says she can’t wait to link up with SKYCITY Mystics head coach Helene Wilson.

“I’ve worked with Helene over a number of years now, first in an athlete-coach relationship, then as her assistant at Under 23’s. We have a great working relationship and I feel privileged to be part of her team,” Clarkson said.

“I’m looking forward to getting stuck into things with the new-look squad.”

Wilson is equally excited to have Clarkson on board for 2017.

“Jenny-May and I have previously worked together as a coaching partnership with the U23 Northern Zone team in 2013 and 2015, and it is exciting to bring our knowledge from past coaching successes to the SKYCITY Mystics,” Wilson said.

“She brings specialist performance expertise to our programme; drawing on her game knowledge grown through her many roles in Netball is an exciting addition to our coaching team.”

The ANZ Premiership – New Zealand’s new elite Netball league – gets underway on Sunday 26 March with a blockbuster Super Sunday featuring all six teams in action in Hamilton.
