Junior Netball Academy Term 1 about to start - registrations still open
Webpage last updated 7.02.12
The Junior Netball Academy is designed with the aim to assist players to work on the fundamental skills of netball and improve their standard of play throughout the year, while still focusing on learning through fun and team building! Each session is fast-paced, interesting and fun and packs in as many skills as possible into the 75 minute session. Players are taught the importance of warm ups and warm downs, and cover movement skills and fitness, ball skills, shooting, attacking and defending. Those who are attending the Academy for the first time receive encouragement while picking up new skills whereas those that are returning to the Academy and are at a competent skill level are sure to be challenged further and build on their prior skills. Wherever possible if numbers allow, a modified game will be played at the end of the session giving the participants the chance to get some hands on practice of the skills they have learnt during their session.
