On Tuesday 30th April we were lucky enough to have Kath Tetley attend a special training session and give our coaches some tips and techniques on defence. Kath has had an extensive and successful coaching career at State, District and Association levels and in 2010 she was named Coach of the Year at State level. It was evident that she has a real passion for netball, and an amazing ability to communicate with both players and coaches and a genuine interest in netball development at a grass roots level. We truly appreciate her time and effort

On the night we had the 10A’s help out with the skills/drills and they worked on things such as moving back to 3 feet before raising hands, how to defend the player with the ball using their “angry hands” and some techniques on defending a shot at goal to name a few. Thanks to the 10A’s and Paul Kennedy for being actively involved in the session.

It was good to see some of the coaches using these drills on Wednesday night at training and we hope both coaches and players benefit from this. The Development Program is aimed at improving the skills of both coaches and players and we plan on holding further clinics like Shooting, Center Court and Set Plays. Stay tuned!
