Coaching Programme

St Anthony's has a pathway programme for our older players to get involved in coaching the younger teams.

We also encourage our players to get involved in the Umpire Pathway. CDNA have advised that they have cleared their waiting list of players interested in becoming umpires when they ran their Umpire Trials. They will be running this with independent selectors again later in 2023. We are looking at running an Umpire Training Session for those that are interested. Please register your interest by clicking on the button on the right for Umpiring and on the left for becoming a coach.

To assist our players developing their coaching skills we will reimburse the cost of the Netball Victoria Foundations and other development coaching courses. We will provide opportunities for mentorship where available and support players and parents who are interested in becoming a coach.

Additionally, St Anthony's policy is to pay the VNA for all of our coaches (and committee & team managers) as well as to pay for or reimburse any costs involved in acquiring netball coaching qualifications or skills.

From Spring 2022 our player coaches will be paid from the club bank account using the three levels outlined in our Coaching Policy
