Starting your coaching journey is simple. Just get in touch with your State or Territory member organisation and they’ll guide you through the training process and put you in touch with local clubs. You don’t need any professional qualifications to get started. Just bring a great attitude.
The Coaches Guide course is designed for new coaches, who are just starting and looking for ideas to prepare for a training session. The Fundamentals course assists coaches in preparing to teach a skill and gives you a video library of skills and drills to keep your players engaged and having fun.
Coaching is a rewarding and challenging experience and requires the coach to understand and teach the basic to advanced skills of netball, in a positive, safe, engaging and inclusive environment.
Gaining your National Coaching Accreditation can help support you to deliver great netball experiences for players and gain the support and resources you need to feel confident in your delivery.
Knees and ankles are the most commonly injured body parts of netballers and most of these injuries occur when landing. Whether you coach your child’s netball team, are a high performance coach, a member of the support staff, this program is designed to keep your players on the court.
A review of the National Coach Development Framework is now underway, with a strong focus on community-level coaching, while maintaining sight of high-performance coaching environments.
The outcomes of the review will guide a refreshed National Coach Development Framework, modernising NA’s and NA State and Territory Member Organisations’ approach to coach development, enabling the sport to enhance how it recruits, trains, supports and retain a world-leading netball coaching workforce that delivers the right type of coaching, by the right coach, in the right environment, at the right time.
A survey has been developed to gather feedback from coaches who hold NA ADVANCED, ELITE or HIGH-PERFORMANCE coach accreditation and/or are currently coaching in one or more of the following environments;
State League/Premier League
Super Netball Reserves
Super Netball
17&U, 19&U Nationals
If this is you, we strongly encourage you to have your say and contribute to this important project. Your insights and experiences will significantly shape the future of coach development in Australian netball.
