Netball Central Zone are continuing to work collaboratively with Dr Slade to support the embedding of his TGfU philosophies and creative game play designs across our Community Coach network.

At a cost of $20, NCZ are pleased to invite coaches to attend one of Dr Slades’ TEACHING GAME SENSE workshops in March:

Dennis’ practical session reflects new research on how to teach players game structure within the context of games.  Watch Dennis’ knowledge and expertise unfold as he turns netball into a computer game format where teams complete ‘missions’ and players manipulate rules in order to achieve success.  The workshop is open to sports coaches of all levels; Dennis’ teachings can be applied to beginner and experienced athletes of various sporting codes and are especially relevant to team sports.
