Coaching is rewarding, is a great way to contribute to your community, and connects you with others. Community coaches are essential to the enjoyment and delivery of netball at your local centre.
There are several resources available to support you on your coaching journey, as well as the Netball NZ Coaching Framework below, which provides an overview of the five recognised areas of coaching of netball.
Foundation or junior coaching
For our junior players, our netball centres follow the Netball NZ futureFERNS programme which works to best develop the foundational skills of our young players.
The futureFERNS website explains the structure of the game within the programme and provides coaches with a ‘coaching portal’ which gives week-by-week guidance and activities for trainings.

The Northern Zone is delighted to announce the appointment of Paula Smith as Assistant Coach of the Under 23 Squad.
Netball Northern Zone High Performance Manager, Hamish Barton, believes the appointment of Paula in the Assistant Coaching role and Kiri Wills as Head Coach creates a high quality coaching team for the U23’s. Over the last 5 years Paula has been involved in head coach and assistant coaching positions for a number of Performance teams with Auckland/Waitakere and also been part of the successful Mount Albert Grammar School team.

Paula will be working alongside Head Coach Kiri Wills leading the U23 programme which will run from early November 2013 through to the end of February 2014, which will include on-going fitness testing, mental skills training, nutrition and a specific skill development programme.
The Northern Zone are delighted to announce the appointment of Kiri Wills as Head Coach of the Under 23 Squad.
