WBOP Zone NetballSmart April Update


NetballSmart Activation at Centres and Schools.

We have been busy getting out to schools and Centres for activation days, and planning ahead for workshops, Centre representative days, and Secondary School sessions next term. NetballSmart had a presence at the Aotearoa Māori Netball Oranga Healthy Lifestyles Trust (AMNOHL) tournament at Netball Rotorua Centre, which was a great experience working with U13, U15, U17 and U19 age groups. We also attended the Central North Island Area Schools camp in Te Awamutu, guiding players about right preparation and activation along with what “SmartPlayer” habits look like. Overall, the year has been full- on from the start and this is only going to continue! 

A big shout out to our Centre Activators in Tauranga, Gisborne and Hamilton City for their continued efforts and support of their communities! 😊

If your Centre or School would like to make an appointment for a NetballSmart session please feel free to contact me from the details below.

NetballSmart at NNZ National Development Camp.

NetballSmart kicked off for 2024 on January 26th - at the NNZ National Development Camp at Bruce Pulman Park for 3 days. It was awesome to see our next generation of Netball stars working hard to enhance their skills and develop their fitness and strength to another level in a performance environment setting. NetballSmart’s role at these camps was to take charge of the fitness and strength components for testing. We also educated our athletes on how to be a “SmartPlayer” and embed athlete habits to help grow them not only as players but people too. 

Players from our WBOP Zone were the best performing across the fitness testing, and it is fantastic to see that these athletes in our Zone have been working hard in the off season. However, it is important that players at all levels are preparing physically to handle the demands of netball, so make sure to check out our Preparation Programme and other resources for the season on the NetballSmart website.
