Annual Netball Conference

With Tracey Neville, Karen Atkinson and Geva Mentor

England’s leading players present an unrivalled day of top class coaching, with a choice of topics for experienced coaches.  Much of the material will be entirely new in this country, being based on the girls’ summer experience playing in different franchises in the Trans-Tasman Cup, the world’s premier club competition. They will also have recently returned from the September England tour to Australia and New Zealand.

Two topics will run simultaneously during the day, with sessions based on play in each of the thirds.  Delegates will have a choice of three topics from the six below

This is a unique opportunity for school and club coaches to encounter the very best of contemporary netball coaching.  Last year’s conference sold out quickly; book now to avoid disappointment.
