Caitlyn grew up in Echuca, Victoria, and worked her way through every level of Australian netball. Northern Zone Academy, underage state teams, the Australian Netball Championship, Super Netball League. Then the green and gold.
Her path was not a straight line. An ACL injury and a league restructure delayed her elite selection. The setback became the story. Through years of methodical rebuild and consistent work, Caitlyn earned her debut against the Silver Ferns in 2017, becoming the second-oldest player in Diamonds history to make her debut.
Across her career she lifted three premierships with the Melbourne Vixens and Queensland Firebirds, learning the game inside the highest-performing programs in the country.
She stepped away from playing in 2020 and immediately turned the lens. Today she coaches developing athletes across Australia, designing the kind of training programs she wishes she'd had on her own way up.
Caitlyn holds her Elite Netball Accreditation, is a Queensland State Netball Team Selector, and in 2027 steps in as Queensland Firebirds Reserves Head Coach. Alongside her in-person coaching across Australia, she's built CC Netball into a complete platform — video game analysis for athletes anywhere, the Netball Drills Library, the Competition Builder for associations, and the Netball Shop. The long-term goal: coaching in the Suncorp Super Netball competition.
“Netball is my passion. We are forever students of the game, regardless of experience level. Opportunities to learn, grow and improve always exist.”
