​​​​​​​Level 1 – Coach Program

I want to thank everyone involved in this program. I have learned a great deal and I know I will be more structured in my future years of coaching with what I have learnt in this program.

I have enjoyed every aspect of this course and having guest speakers like Carla Van der Merwe come along and discuss more in-depth the ACC netball smart cards, gave me a better understanding as to why we do “those recommended” warmups and most importantly the cooling down from a game, will stick with me greatly. So nice to have the “experts” there to talk you through it and have a better understanding, than just reading it off a chart! Something I’ll pass onto my teams.

Huge thanks to Sam for showing us and giving us more information about the new rules. Kat for giving us a number of examples of experiences (Obi-Wan Kenobi) and Carmell for answering all questions, no matter how silly we may have thought they were.

All in all, I have gained more confidence and understanding and look forward to the season starting so I can now put what I have learned into action. Hence, I’m looking forward to sitting my second badge in the near future.

Thanks again.

I can't thank you both enough for the last 6 weeks that you have invested in us, as individuals and as a team. You selflessly gave so much of your time, expertise, knowledge and passion. 6 weeks ago, I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue coaching; today, I walk away from the pavilion hungry to be a better coach, armed with your teaching, with more confidence to focus on developing our young netballers.

Thank you so much for the amazing opportunity.

Thank you very much Carmell and Kat for all of your tuition and pearls of wisdom over the last 6 weeks.  I have really enjoyed completing the course and feel my understanding of Netball strategy and planning has hugely increased.  You are both very approachable and make learning fun within a group of supportive coaches.  I feel the level of teaching has been "just right" and made those with previous experience and those with no experience feel safe in the learning environment.  It has a good level of challenge when presenting drills in front of the group, but not so much that people feel uncomfortable for too long :).  Thanks again.
