Coaching is rewarding, is a great way to contribute to your community, and connects you with others. Community coaches are essential to the enjoyment and delivery of netball at your local centre.
There are several resources available to support you on your coaching journey.
Foundation or junior coaching
For our junior players, our netball centres follow the Netball NZ futureFERNS programme which works to best develop the foundational skills of our young players.
The futureFERNS website explains the structure of the game within the programme and provides coaches with a ‘coaching portal’ which gives week-by-week guidance and activities for trainings.
You can also access Sport Tutor, where Netball NZ provides you with a personal dashboard, online workshops and resources to use for coaching.
Community coaching
Community netball is played at all ages through school and club netball. Netball NZ provides community coaches with information and resources to support you on your community coaching journey in the online portal Sport Tutor.
Sport Tutor provides coaches with a personal dashboard, online workshops and guidance. Some of the resources you’ll find in Sport Tutor include:
- Community Coach Starter Resource
- Year 9 & 10 Season Starter Resource
- Year 7 & 8 Player Development Programme Resource

- NetballSmart Season Preparation
- And more
