Aim

The aim of the Talented Netball Program is to provide an opportunity for talented students to train, compete and gain knowledge and experience in the game of netball.  It is designed to produce the highest quality of team and individual performances.

Courses Offered

Year 7/8 Sport Enrichment is an introduction to the program where basic skills will be enhanced and the techniques to perform these skills will be studied.

Year 9/10 Physical Activity & Applied Sport Studies is an elective subject chosen for study over two years as a component for the Year 10 Record of Student Achievement. Students will look to begin the development of more advanced skills and specific court strategies will begin to be implemented. This course also involves theoretical aspects of netball including coaching, umpiring, media skills and aspects of elite performance including the plotting of player pathways.

Course Structure

All squads will be given all the consideration of talented sports persons and will concentrate on fitness, skill development and teamwork. Year 7/8 Sport Enrichment and Year 9/10 Applied Sport Studies will operate two double periods per week.
