As we head towards our social summer netball league competitions, NetballSmart would like to place an emphasis on continual preparation and the importance of warming up before games to ensure injury statistics stay reduced within the Mainland Zone.  

The NetballSmart Power Warm Up was developed to reduce the number of injuries social players sustain, particularly at the start of each season. Throughout the social space, a common theme of concern is space allocation and time constraints. Therefore, with this in mind, Centres may be able to organise the draw by adding an extra 5 minutes warm up time in between social grade games, to support their players and encourage all teams to have the opportunity to warm up indoors properly.  

NetballSmart invites Centres to contact our Mainland representative, Kiana Gallon to assist with any preparational education evenings to ensure all teams this season know, and use the Power Warm Up, and gain a further understanding around the affordability of injuries - time away from work, family, and other social commitments.  

We appreciate our social netball community and want to help everyone have a safe and enjoyable social season!
