April Newsletter
What a whirlwind of a month we've had, highlighted by the exciting number of Netball Centres now endorsed to deliver the new Junior Netball Programme. Development staff have been extremely busy
delivering training to a large number of enthusiastic Junior Co-ordinators, Star Helpers and Coaches. Thousands of young netball payers are now eager to get started, so thanks for your support!
ENDORSED JUNIOR NETBALL PROVIDERS
There has been an amazing response to the introduction of the new Junior Netball programme with close to 70 Netball Centres seeking to be endorsed providers. In the South Island it appears all but two Netball Centres will roll out the new programme this year. The feedback we have received so far has been overwhelmingly positive with the children's enthusiasm rubbing off on the adults. This new programme was
developed for the players to ensure they gain success, improve their skills and have fun.
