What Will My Child Learn?
Each week your child will take part in skill based activities and simple games that will help them develop fundamental movement skills, as well as important social skills like team work. Each session will be lead by an accredited coach, using modified equipment.
The skills taught through Net Set GO include:
- Throwing, passing and catching
- Taking off and landing
- Pivoting
- Changing direction
- Goal shooting
- Movement skills
- Team work
- Communication
As children progress through the program they will begin to play simple matches, usually in the “Set” tier with modified net set go rules and modified equipment, ie. shorter hoops. The modified competition for beginner’s netball allows children to learn the flow and purpose of the game without having to adhere to the full netball rules.
