Coaches

Coaching is a thoroughly rewarding endeavour. People undertake it for numerous reasons such as, to give back to their club/school, to help players develop as netballers and people, for their own self-development/achievement, and for the love of our skilled and exciting game!

There are opportunities to coach at all levels in Dunedin Netball. These range from Year 1 right through to representative teams such as the Dunedin Open or Under 18 teams.


Dunedin Netball, Netball South and Netball New Zealand recognise the importance of having coaches that feel confident. The following structures are present to enable your confidence:

  • Coach workshops across the year, keep an eye on the Netball South website and Facebok page for these dates.
  • A framework that enables parents who are new to netball to grow in confidence with their children. Parents start off as a Star Helper, assisting in running skill development and game play in our Year 1/2 Programme. In the Year 3/4 Programme you move into a coach position where you have more leadership in sessions, but still with support. Come ages 5/6 you have full leadership of the team, and coaching skills which have blossomed across the Year 1-4 Junior Programme
  • Dunedin Netball are also starting to build capability in the Coach Developer space to enable more coach support
