Suncorp NetSetGO

Suncorp NetSetGO is divided into three tiers; Net, Set and GO, meaning that your child will learn at a pace that’s right for their age and ability.

As you move through the tiers, you’ll pick up more advanced netball skills. One week it might be passing drills and ball games, next it could be shooting and practice matches. All Suncorp NetSetGO sessions are led by a friendly netball coach, using equipment built specially for kids.

 

To find out more about Suncorp NetSetGO and to find your nearest centre, head over to play.netball.com.au.

Each week your child will take part in skills-based activities, minor games, music, dance and modified matches that will help them develop fundamental movement skills as well as important social skills like teamwork. Each session will be lead by an accredited coach using modified equipment.

We’ll send every child that registers for Suncorp NetSetGO a participation pack with:

• a size 4 netball
• Suncorp NetSetGO t-shirt
• our Healthy Habits activity book
• Suncorp Super Netball collectable player cards

*2018 Pack (2019 pack TBC)

By now we know it is important to remember that children are not mini-adults – their physiology, size, movement mechanics, skeletal maturity and cognitive development make it important that sports are modified to be developmentally suitable which is underpinned by scientific research and evidence. As expected, children have less strength; specifically, force, speed and power than adults.

Once a sport is modified it makes sport fun, creating a positive learning experience, encouraging development and refinement of fundamental movement skills. A UK research paper found that children enjoyed sport more when they were not being forced to compete and win but encouraged to experiment with different activities. FUN is the most common reason children give for playing sport.

Having a presence in your local area is an important part of growing your centre and providing opportunities for young children to experience netball. Some simple ideas for promoting your centre are:

• Get in touch with your local paper and ask if they might be interested in doing a story on your centre and the upcoming netball season, with a call to action to register.
• Approach local schools, shopping centres, businesses and community groups to see if they will allow you to hang banners, flyers or place flyers.
• Make sure your centre registration information is easily accessible on your website and social media accounts.
• Advertise and hold an information session at a local shopping centre, school or community centre to allow people to find out more about your centre.
• As an accredited NetSetGO centre you can run a free come and try event to allow participants and parents to try the program before they register – for more information on holding a come and try event email netsetgo@netballnsw.com.
