SPECIALIST NETBALL PROGRAM Endorsed by the Department of Education.
Develop your netball skills while at John Forrest Secondary College
Students in the John Forrest Specialist Netball Program pursue their love of netball with the assistance of professional, accredited teachers and coaches. The program offers fantastic opportunities including intra-state and interstate tournaments and competitions as well as local competitions and matchplay. Students make outstanding progress building on basic skills and understanding of Netball through our coaching. The program is open to Year 8 to Year 10 students and in upper school students have the opportunity to further their passion for Netball by studying university and TAFE bound courses to meet their needs. All staff and students are affiliated with Netball WA and are involved in Netball as either a player, coach and/or umpire.
The first Year 8 group of Specialist Netball students enrolled at John Forrest in July 1999 and since that time the program has evolved into a highly respected and successful Netball program producing players who have gone on to play State League.
Specialist Netball Program students are expected to maintain a high level of achievement not only in Netball but all other learning areas and are expected to participate in the wider College community.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
In lower school students study four hours per week with highly qualified teachers and receive professional coaching.
The course is affiliated with Netball WA and covers the development of netball skills (footwork, catching/throwing), goal shooting and attacking/defending (skills, strategies and positional play) and fitness training and testing. Students also study the history of Netball, diet and nutrition, sports medicine awareness, umpiring, including player’s exam, video game analysis (class, state league and national league teams), player and team psychology (goal setting and team building), and equipment and shoe technology.
