The off-season is the perfect time to rest, reset, and refresh — but it doesn’t mean stopping completely! Taking a short break from netball helps your body recover from the demands of the season, while keeping active in different ways prepares you for an even stronger return next year.
Playing another sport over summer is a great way to stay fit and move your body differently. It reduces repetitive load on your joints and muscles, while helping you develop new skills, coordination, and movement patterns that can benefit your netball game. Most importantly, it keeps training fun and varied!
While enjoying a break from the court, make sure to keep up some basic training. Focusing on strength, jumping, and landing technique will help you maintain form and prevent injuries when the 2026 season begins.
Staying active through summer supports your overall health, wellbeing, and athletic development — so grab a friend, try something new, and keep moving!
