TEGATE NETBALL CLUB - Key Persons
Carol Bull started Tegate Netball Club, because there was no other Junior Netball Club within the Harlow area that her daughter Clare and her friends could join. That was in 1983! Starting out with just one team, Carol coached in a local community centre. The club rapidly expanded and within a few years Tegate was the one of the biggest Junior Netball Clubs in the area. Carol, being an experienced level 2 coach, also progressed, and as well as being Tegate Head Coach she also became the East Essex under 21 coach. She then progressed to coach the East Essex Senior Squad. Carol has also coached Satellite and Academy as well as being a county selector. Today she is still active in identifying talented players, and putting them on the Satellite, County or Academy pathway. Carol also holds a level B umpiring badge.
Chris got involved in Tegate when her daughter Kate joined the club and has been Treasurer at the club for almost 30 years!

Kate joined Tegate as a 10 year old. Two years later she was selected to play for East Essex under 16s, she progressed through the county system to captain the U18s, U21s and Seniors. When she was 15, Kate, under Carol's guidance, trialled for the England U16 squad. Over 25 years, Kate has managed, played and captained the Tegate East Region Squad. She also plays for Tegate Kestrels in the Harlow and Turnford leagues.
​Passionate to give something of what she had been taught back to her club, Kate decided she would like to coach, she took her level 1 coaching badge in 2009 and obtained her level 2 badge and talent Identification in early 2013. Kate has also coached the County Satellite squad for the East Essex Region in the England Netball Talent Pathway.
