Casey Demons Netball has unveiled its Victorian Netball League (VNL) Championship Coach who it hopes will lead the club to success in 2024.

With a mix of experience and fresh talent, the Demons are poised for an exciting season ahead!

Steve Murray, the Championship Coach, will lead the way with his experience, team cohesion, and camaraderie, building on the second half of 2023 and fostering the unity of the group, and confident the team will reach new levels of success.

Travis Pretty, a rising star in the coaching world, will spearhead the 23 and Under group.

His dedication to nurturing young talent and developing future champions aligns perfectly with the vision of the Casey Demons.
