As a previous Head of Netball, Charlotte established and developed successful coaching programs within schools.

Due to the growth and success of netball in Surrey, she was invited by the Borough of Kingston to manage and coach their netball team and be their representative at the London Youth Games. As a result, Kingston finished in the top 10 on a number of occasions.
