Margaret Mary Anne Foster, MNZM is a New Zealand netball coach and former Silver Ferns player. Foster played seven international matches from 1994–2001. She played domestic netball in the National Bank Cup for the Canterbury Flames, playing in 1998, 1999 and 2001.

Coaching career

Foster also coached the team in 2000 and from 2002–2007. Foster took the Canterbury Flames to five final appearances, losing each time to the Southland-based Southern Sting. She also previously coached the New Zealand A squad.[1]

After the National Bank Cup was replaced by the ANZ Championship in April 2008, Foster was replaced as coach of the Christchurch-based Canterbury franchise by Helen Mahon-Stroud. She pulled out of an offer to be head coach of the Northern Mystics, after Yvonne Willering was sacked from the position. Instead, Foster took up the role of assistant coach of the Southern Steel for the 2009 season.[2] She subsequently signed on as assistant coach of the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic for the 2011 season.[3] She was also appointed head coach for the Cook Islands netball development squad for 2011.[4]

Outside of netball

Foster was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. She later wrote a book, Silver Linings, about both her career and three-year battle with cancer.[5] In 2009, Foster was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit as part of the Queen's Birthday honours list, for services to netball.[6]
