💫 2026 Clubperson of the Year - Lili Christophers
At just 23 years of age, Lili has already become one of the most active and committed members of our club, and when you look at everything she has taken on this year, it is actually quite impressive just how many different hats she wears.
As junior coordinator, she manages almost 150 junior athletes, supports coaches, participates in team selections and manages all the behind-the-scenes little jobs that are required to ensure our 15 junior teams to be on court every single week.
Lili also helped deliver our eight-week NetSetGO program, giving up her time to help introduce some of our youngest members to netball.
Perhaps the biggest undertaking we had as a club this year was the launch of our High-Performance Pathways Program which Lili was allocated the role of our inaugural Under 17 Head Coach.
She also played a major role in our first Adelaide High Performance Camp, helping with the organisation, supervision and delivery of the camp, as well as taking on the organisation of our Deckchair Cinema fundraiser to help make that opportunity possible for our athletes.
And if that wasn't enough, Lili also helps out with the ‘Gen Z’ side of our social media content, continues to coach outside of Pints in the DNA Talent Academy and NNT Train Like Storm sessions, and has continued developing herself as a coach by completing her Intermediate Coaching Accreditation.
Amongst all of that, she's still managed to play Premier League and represent the Territory with the Territory Storm at the Super Netball Reserves Tournament in Sydney.
She is reliable, professional, approachable and always willing to put her hand up when something needs to be done.
She is also someone our younger athletes can look to and see what is possible within our club, having grown with us since she was 14, not only as a player, but as a coach, mentor and leader.
Lili, your contribution to Pints throughout 2026 has been significant, and you've played a huge role in developing both our athletes and our club with a strong passion for junior development and drive to make our club even better. 💛💚
