Netball Tasmania is a proud provider of the Netball Schools Program. Netball Schools is an Australian Sports Commission initiative which brings schools and sports together to help students get active!
Netball Schools has been developed to provide students with the best possible learning and playing experience. From skill development through fun games to match-sense activities, the sessions cater to students from kinder to year 6 of all levels of experience and ability.
Fast5 Netball offers secondary students the opportunity to play the game differently with only five positions on the court, rolling subs, and modified rules. Students also develop skills in the off-court roles of umpire, timekeepers, and scorer.

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!
