Our Story
Kardinia Park Netball Development Competition runs every Saturday morning in line with the School terms (or there about). Beginning at 9am and concluding at 10:30am.
Parents are encouraged to be a part of the program and develop their skills as a coach, come along and enjoy a coffee and meet with other parents.
The skills the children develop by playing a team sport are unlike anything else on offer. This opportunity of a program has a strong focus on developing confidence and skills.
Courses for beginning and consolidating Umpires and Coaches are run regularly in association with Netball Victoria.
It’s about time a program like this was offered.
Saving you your precious time and $$.
We are eliminating your need to take your children to training one night per week and then to their game another day. And if they get into a representative team, yet another night out for that training!!
For your convenience, we DO NOT play during School Holidays or on Public Holidays.
WHO ARE WE??
This program is a collaboration between the Bellarine & District Netball Association and the Geelong Unity Netball Association, (now part of the Geelong Central Netball Association), both of whom have an extensive history in providing junior netball.
Children as young as 5 are welcome to join our Net-Set-Go program.
Your Committee and Coaches are:
Liz Coles (NetSetGo Coach/Umpire) Gabby Barnes (NetSetGo Coach)
Cathie Jennings (Head Umpire Coach)
Robyn Austin (Head Coach/Umpire)
Joan Hepworth (Coach/Umpire)
Raelene Stewart (Coach/Umpire)
Tony Alloway (Coach)
Julie Barnes (Office)
COACHING PROGRAM
N.C.A.S. accredited coaches will be working on skills and drills, offering alternatives to accommodate varying ability levels, thus providing a challenge to all players.
Each session will provide skill development to enhance the knowledge and understanding of the game of Netball.
Aspiring young netballers need to be taught the basic skills and the specifics of the court in order to move safely from Junior to Senior level.
We will create a fun/learning environment and encourage continual involvement. Our approachable coaches will provide positive feedback on your child’s progress.
Players will be taught the rules of the game so that when an infringement occurs, they will understand why the penalty is being applied and they will learn to react and adjust quickly, and in a productive manner.
Coaching sessions will take place immediately prior to your child playing his/her regular game, giving them a great opportunity to put their newly acquired skills into practice.
Parents will be encouraged to join in these coaching sessions so that they can also learn each skill properly and be able to reinforce the same skill at home, using the correct technique.
Parents (and older players) will be offered the chance to become accredited coaches and/or Umpires.
REPRESENTATIVE TEAMS PROGRAM
Every player will come under the watchful eye of qualified Talent scouts and may be approached to be in our Representative teams.
Being a Representative player is a great confidence building experience and your child will make lifelong friends as he/she competes alongside players from several other teams.
UMPIRING PROGRAM
To become a netball umpire we offer you one-on-one training under the direct supervision of the best Umpire Coach Geelong can offer, and her assistants.
Your child will learn in a controlled, friendly atmosphere to encourage him/her to work towards a national “C” grade badge.

'On-line' theory via Netball Victoria's website
Rule Review workshops
