Netball

About the Programme

Student Athletes will be supported and managed by the school’s experienced coaching and teaching staff, together they will supervise their academic learning, strength & conditioning, technical & tactical development and competitive programs. Furthermore, we aim to inspire players and encourage them to adopt our core values of humility, discipline and commitment which we deem fundamental when striving for success.

Selected athletes will be expected to attend two sessions before school and one after school every week. Two out of the three sessions will hold a strong focus on developing core skills in all aspects of the game, when both attacking and defending. Students are also provided with one-to-one coaching to improve on individual aspects of their game, to further maximise performance and their potential on the court.

What is involved?

The programme will be both physically and mentally demanding and the expectations from coaches will be very high. The programme will be constantly reviewed to guarantee the continuous development of the players and ensure they realise their capabilities and full potential. Students will represent the school in the following competitions:

U12, U13, U14 & U16 Sisters In Sport National cup/shield Competitions
U12,U13 & U15 School Sport National cup competition
