Netball Centres are always on the look out for passionate people to help support & develop coaches! 

If this sounds like you - perhaps you may already be a Coach Developer without realising it...

Who makes a good Coach Developer?

• Anyone passionate about growing the sport of Netball by supporting Coaches and is willing to provide some of their own time to help make it happen!
• Coaches engaged in their own learning journey looking for ways to stretch themselves to grow capability in others

Coach Developers could be involved with any of the below within our Centre:

• Help organise and/or facilitate informal or formal workshops or get togethers for Coaches
• Provide 1:1 support / mentoring to Coaches
• Lead a community of support in their club or school, that connects throughout the season
• Encourage a culture of learning & development
• Observe coaches and give feedback
• Support coaches on their learning journey. Help connect them with development opportunities.
• Create quality learning & support experiences for coaches that positively impact their involvement in the game

How might this benefit you?

• Add new skills to your toolkit or enhance skills you already have that not only benefit you as a coach developer but in your personal & professional life
• Opportunity for ongoing personal & professional development
• Connection with communities of like minded people
• See more coaches impacted positively, more often which positively impacts them personally with a flow-on effect for players
