JuniorNet G1/2 Program

Information:

Our JuniorNet G1/2 program is a junior development program which is based on the Netball Australia NetSetGo! Tier 1 "NET" program. It focuses on fundamental motor skills and has been designed to introduce young children to organised sport. 

It comprises a play based motor skills program for children in school years 1/2. The emphasis is on the acquisition of basic motor skills, in a fun environment of games and activities appropriate to the age and abilities of children in Years 1&2. Refinement of netball specific skills and their application to the game will be introduced when they reach the final stage of JuniorNet in Year 3. 

The guidelines of the G1/2 program are:

  • Children join the program as individuals, not in teams or clubs. We will group children with their nominated friends.
  • Younger players (Prep/ Yr 1) will be grouped together and the program is adapted to their capabilities.
  • Players are arranged into groups with 2 coaches / group.
  • Coaches are older BNA netballers / Boroondara Power representative team players who are also learning the skills of coaching.
  • Modified equipment is used 
  • Children rotate around different stations doing different games and activities.
  • This program does NOT involve netball matches. There is no organised competition structure. 

 Programs:

  1. Boroondara Netball Centre, Macleay Park, Nth Balwyn
  2. Friday afternoons, 4.00 - 4.45pm
  3. Terms 2 &/or 3 &/or 4  ie) one program per term - players may register for as many programs as they wish. 
  4. No sessions school hols, long weekends
  5. Children in PREP are eligible to join the program in Term 4.

Please note that this is a very popular program and we are limited by court space and coach availablity.   Therefore, it is strongly advised that registration forms are returned promptly.  Only those who have returned their registration form and payment will be accepted and registrations will close when full. Others will be placed on a waiting list for inclusion in the program if a place becomes available. It is inappropriate to arrive at the courts with a child expecting to play without being registered as this is distressing for the child (and us).
