COACHING RESOURCES

INJURY MANAGEMENT

Netball Australia has a specialised program, KNEE, to help prevent knee injuries in netball. They have great training resources that coaches can use during warm ups at training and before games. You can access the KNEE program and all the resources by clicking here.

Netball Australia also provides us with the University of Ballarat's Down to Earth: a practical guide to safe and effective landing in Netball resource. Access it on the Netball Australia site here.

If you or someone on your team suffers an injury at training or on a game day, it's important to report it to either the First Aid room at the Fremantle grounds, or to a Club committee member at training. Registered members are covered by Netball Australia's insurance policy, which may be helpful in covering some out of pocket expenses that may be incurred after an injury at netball. FNA provides links to the relevant resources, which you can access here. Alternatively, ask a Club committee member for more information.

RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO COACHES

There are a variety of templates you may use for games to record results, rotations and stats that can be downloaded before training commences. If you have any questions about coaching, or need help with a particular area of coaching for your team, contact your Coaching Coordinator to organise for assistance.
