Netball
2023 Netball Program
We would like to thank Judi Buhagiar for the success of the 2022 program and for her contribution to the GSA Netball program over the past few years. We would like to welcome our new Head Coaches Jo Ballinger and Jae Evans to the 2023 Netball Program.
The 2023 Netball Program commenced in December 2022 with an Induction for over 44 Netballer’s. We have again divided the program into The Doc Shop Dare to Develop a Diamond (DDAD) Program and the Development Program.
The DDAD will provide development for potential Netball Victoria Eastern Talent Academy athletes transitioning into the 15/U age group. The focus will be on developing the athlete’s potential for selection into the next level of pathway development, Netball Victoria Eastern Talent Academy, which feeds into the State Team.
The Development program will deliver a shorter program to enhance the skills of athletes with the view for these athletes to be eligible for the DDAD program the following year.
