Netball Wellington Centre are keen to support coaches new to the netball scene...
Perhaps you are returning to the sport after a wee hiatus...
Could be you've come from another sporting code background but received the call-up as a side-line parent...
Maybe you've always fancied yourself as a person with the right personality to coach but perhaps just seek a confidence boost and a point in the right direction.

We are offering two fantastic beginner-level workshops at the Hataitai Netball Pavilion, 43 Ruahine Street for coaches to cover off precisely these sorts of hesitations...

Year 3-6 Coaching Workshop held on Sunday 24th May from 9.00am - 11.30am aimed at primary school coaches. It should benefit Year 7 & 8 students coaching a lower age-group, teachers with limited netball-background, as well as parents coaching for the first time or returning to the sport after a break.  Working through the resource together, attendees will develop an understanding of foundation netball principals including FUNdamental movement and ball skills. Coaches will further learn how to select appropriate activities to suit the skill-level of your players and identify skill errors. Also touches on basic coaching philosophy such as positional rotations and how to structure your netball coaching sessions to create maximum fun and learning.

My Team & Me held on Sunday 24th May from 12.00pm to 2.30pm aimed at assisting Year 7 & 8, secondary school and lower club level coaches providing foundation tools to use in practices to help players of all ages learn and develop. It should benefit teachers and parents with limited netball-background and those first-timers coaxed from the sideline or seeking a refresher.  Attendees get a chance to refresh their practical understanding of key netball terms and learn skills and drills used to teach the fundamental basic skills including warm-up activities, body balance, movement, passing & catching, attack, defence, on-court space, and the centre pass.  The workshop also touches on basic coaching philosophy with regards to playing positions, rotating players, and keeping track of player’s court-time and attendance.

These workshops are a great way to get in “coach mode” in preparation for the season ahead and build your coaching confidence. Attendees are provided with a thorough resource to keep and refer to throughout the season.
