In all sports, your mental strength is just as important as your technical ability. We will develop your child’s mindset in determination and hunger. This is interwoven with learning the technical skills of the game.

Who are the netball programmes designed for?
Our programmes are designed for young players who want to improve their skills, confidence and understanding of the game. Players are grouped according to their year groups, experience and ability whenever possible.
What skills will my child learn?
Sessions may include passing, catching, footwork, shooting, attacking, defending, movement and positional skills, fitness. We also teach communication, teamwork and good decision-making on court.
Does my child need previous netball experience?
Yes. Our programmes are best suited to players who already have some basic netball experience and understand the fundamentals of the game. This allows our coaches to focus on improving skills, technique, confidence and decision-making on court.
What should my child bring to each session?
Players should wear comfortable sports clothing and suitable court shoes. They should also bring a named drink bottle and any personal medication they may require.
What happens if a session is cancelled because of bad weather?
Parents and caregivers will be contacted as early as possible if a session needs to be postponed or cancelled. Information about replacement sessions or other arrangements will be provided at that time. Most sessions are run indoors so this is very unlikely.
