What a pleasure to have Debbie Hallas back on the podcast after the news that she would be taking more of a back seat at Manchester Thunder after 17 years.

In this episode, we discuss Debbie's reasons behind this move and how it will in the long run benefit the longevity of the very successful Netball Super league club.

We touch on Debbie's main business Netball UK, and its rapid growth over the years as well as take a deeper look at another role she holds within netball as Head Coach of Oldham Netball Club.

In what was a very interesting insight into not just Premier Netball but also Regional and Pathways, we discuss the issues that are facing netball players across the country as they try to balance club, university, NSL/NXT Gen as well as International pathways. Are they playing too much netball?

We also take a look at the rules and regulations around netball including, why different regions have different rules, and how regulations in the North West region are working against players and clubs by hindering player progression up and down the leagues.
