Together with the Australia-Japan Foundation (AJF) and the Australian Government, the one-year pilot program aims to increase the knowledge, popularity and reach of netball, through specialised training opportunities.
Netball Australia's experts and coaching specialists will focus on building a highly skilled cohort of umpires and coaches through face-to-face training and online learning. Introducing netball through universities and schools will also help to grow the game in Japan.
The partnership aligns to the core objectives of Netball Australia’s strategic plan to increase the competitiveness of the global game and help give athletes in Japan the best opportunity to reach their full potential.
