Newly appointed Fiji Pearls netball coach Julie Hoornweg is embarking on a mission to improve the sport and take Fiji back to where it was when she was coach in 1999.
Hoornweg coached Fiji in the late 1990s and took Fiji to the sixth placed finish at the 1999 World Championships.
Hoornweg said Fiji needs to play the top sides in the world.
She added having a structured program is vital.
Hoornweg arrived into the country over the weekend and will start training with the team this afternoon.
The Fiji Pearls will host Papua New Guinea and Northern Ireland in the Tri-series Plus One Championship which will start next Saturday at the Vodafone Arena.
