Product Details

Our netball programme in Australia is perfect for any netball player who wants to develop their fitness while training in netball, making friends and having fun. The netball programme consists of a commitment to strength and conditioning work, group fitness sessions and time training and playing for a local netball club.

Where will I be?

The programme is based in Brisbane, in the state of Queensland, which is a vibrant young city with plenty to offer. Sport is very popular in Brisbane, with many of the nation’s top teams training and playing there - watching the Queensland Firebirds play netball at home is a must during your stay. Netball is consistently played at the highest level in Australia so it’s a brilliant place to be if you're looking to advance your sporting potential. This all makes it the perfect location to enjoy while developing your netball skills and technique. Team based training with professional coaches will see great improvements in your playing ability and confidence.

What will I be doing?

The training and playing programme will be structured around three key areas: strength and conditioning, group fitness sessions and team training/match play. Strength and conditioning involves physical and psychological training such as core stability work, quick lifts and mental exercises to make you, as an athlete, sharper, stronger and fitter. This will provide an important base onto which you can build your technical skills. Group fitness sessions will become an excellent bonding time for everyone as you sweat your way through various different aerobic or circuit training sessions, boosting your fitness and determination to become a better player. Finally, you will train with a local netball club and have the opportunity to play matches, practicing the skills you have been working on during the week and enjoying the benefits of team sport in Australia. The friends you make during the programme and through your local club will generate an awesome social life for your coveted time off. There is also a range of adventure activities included to help you make the most of your time in Brisbane.

Why in Australia?

The Australian netball team has an excellent national record, winning four of the last six World Netball Championships and consistently reaching the finals of the Commonwealth Games. Netball is widely played by girls and some guys in Australia and a combination of fitness, commitment and training seems to be doing an excellent job of producing some of the best players in the world. It is the perfect place to develop netballing skills as well as picking up new tactics and improving personal fitness.

What can I do after the programme?

After training (and socialising) your socks off, Australia is an excellent country to travel around and the East Coast is a great place to start. Brisbane is sandwiched in between the Gold Coast to the south and the Sunshine Coast to the north, surrounding the city with some of the country’s best beaches - obviously nothing quite compares to the fabulous man-made beach in the middle of Brisbane, but you may as well check them out anyway! The social scene up and down the east coast is unrivalled anywhere in Australia so you’re guaranteed to make really good friends for life. Transport for travellers in Australia is excellent so if you decide you want to work your way around the whole country and into the centre, there’s no reason why you can’t. The friends you’ve made during the netball programme will undoubtedly want to travel as well so grab your cork hat, your boomerang and your thongs (all will be explained) and head off around one of the most travel-friendly countries in the world.
