NEBA0007-A4 2011 Annual Report.indd - Netball WA

Through 2011 Netball WA has also
developed a strong relationship with
key disability support services such
as DSR-SportsCONNECT, Inclusion
WA, Therapy Focus and Disability
Services Commission.
A major focus for the future will be
the re-engagement of people with a
disability who have previously been
exposed to netball. To ensure the
program can take the next step we
believe that it is essential that we
support association and clubs to
be inclusive through training and
education. With the assistance
of Inclusion WA a Netball specifi c
“Disability Awareness” training package
will be developed and the NWA
Development Unit staff looks forward
to delivering this to associations and
clubs throughout 2012.
Thanks to the Department of Sport
and Recreation for their continued
support of this Program.

Accreditation Courses were delivered
in 2011 with good participation rates
across all courses. A few minor
changes to the accreditation courses
in 2011 saw course presenters
attend an up skilling day in October
with Carol Byers - Netball Australia
Coach & Athlete Development
Manager. The Intermediate course
was not delivered in 2011 however
participants who had commenced
courses in 2009 and 2010 completed
the fi nal units of the course gaining
their Intermediate Accreditation in
2011. The manuals, workbooks
and DVD resources provided by
Netball Australia for the Foundation,
Development and Advanced coaching
courses continue to be a valuable
coaching tool and provide great
references for the coaches.

education opportunities through
the Locker Room series at Fever
home games and April saw High
Performance Coach Lyn Pemberton

technique to the attendees at the
Netball WA AGM Conference. The
Smarter than Smoking Association
Championships in June provided
another coach education opportunity
for coaches and players alike,
having High Performance coaches
Jon Fletcher deliver sessions on
circle defence and Lyn Pemberton
deliver coach education sessions on
shooter movements and rotation.
Regional visits provided another
platform for the regional coaches
to get the opportunity for coach
