Netball Tasmania is a proud provider of the Netball Schools Program. Netball is a key feature of many schools across Australia, and is often the first introduction to the sport. Netball provides an incredible opportunity to develop movement skills and life skills. There is a place for each student and teacher to be a part of the netball community for life, whether that be playing, supporting, volunteering or leading! Make netball a key feature of your school program and community to support our next generation of kids to be active, make friends and have lots of fun along the way.
Netball programs for Foundation to Year 8 are available through the Australian Sports Commission’s Sporting Schools Program. These programs can be delivered directly by teachers using the provided resources or by an accredited Netball Australia coach sourced through Netball Tasmania.
Our Program is open to Teachers and Pre-Service teachers across Tasmania. Gain support and resources to deliver netball in your school, and be recognised for your efforts to grow the game!

Netball Tasmania sources experienced and accredited coaches to deliver the Netball Schools sessions. Alternatively, schools can opt for a 'teacher delivered' program. A 'teacher delivered' program involves a teacher receiving session plans from Netball Tasmania and then delivering the session to their students. The teacher must be an employee of the school and hold a valid state teacher registration.
The duration of the Netball Schools Program is completely up to the school. Booking usually range from 4 to 10 weeks.
The Netball Schools Program engages students in free, high-quality sports sessions during school hours. Students benefit by developing motor skills and confidence through fun games, activities, and match play. Plus, there is no preparation required by the school!
