ABOUT OUR TRAINING SESSIONS
OUR SESSIONS & COACHES
Play Netball prides ourselves in providing training sessions with co-ordinators and coaches who have a strong background in the sport, ensuring they not only possess the skills and knowledge required to teach the game but also have a genuine passion for helping players develop.
Our coaches will deliver weekly, skills-based sessions, before our usual evening league matches begin. Match Play is an important end to the training sessions, so you can put your new skills to the test, however the coaches focus is heavily on skills progression, confidence and gaining netball experience. The core of the sessions will be planned ahead of each block, giving our netball leaders the flexibility to adapt, depending on the progress and ability of the players attending.
We currently have a selection of leagues and co-ordinators successfully offering training sessions before their league evenings. If you are one of our Play Netball co-ordinators and would like to set up training sessions at your league, please email us: info@play-netball.co.uk
