About Belle Netball

Elevating Skills, Empowering Coaches, and
Having Fun with Our Netball Community.

Belle Netball is about building foundations and fundamental skills for young netballers, coaches with various experience and volunteers who love giving back to their community.

We engage with local netball communities to build upon their current volunteer workforces and transition their workforce to local netball associations for the winter season.

Belle Netball isn't a netball academy, we're not here to find the Aussie Diamond (even though we're sure she's here somewhere).

Belle Netball programs are designed with fun, friendships and shared experiences in mind to encourage young 'ballers to stay in sport, for longer.

Let's get this Netball Party started!

Why we promote a love for playing netball

Developing a love for netball at a young age not only promotes physical health but also provides a foundation for social skills, confidence, discipline, and community involvement.

Netball at its core promotes physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle however, by engaging in netball as a team sport, children naturally build endurance, agility, and hand-eye coordination. Playing on a team requires communication, teamwork, and cooperation, and teaches young players the value of working together to achieve a common goal. being a part of a club or community sport.

These lifelong skills are translatable to later in life. Our aim is that all of our 'ballers will continue to love their netball and being involved with the sport by either playing, coaching or officiating the game.

Key Pillars

Skills

Player skill development is vital to players having an enjoyable experience in the game.

Weekly 30-minute skills session will precede 30-minute matches with a new skills focus each week.

Skills activities are set at an age-appropriate standard and facilitated by our qualified Belle Netball Coaches.

Match Play

Each week, participants will play in 1 x 30-minute match made up of 7 minute quarters.

Belle Netball coaches facilitate matches specifically focusing on the skill of the week with positions rotated by the team manager.

Matches will be umpired by qualified umpires at an age appropriate standard.

Competitions are based on age and abilities with each division carrying a maximum of 6 teams with the maximum of 10 players per team.

The competition is a round-robin with points accumulated to determine a winner and a runner-up.

Coaching

The Belle Netball Mini-League employs passionate and aspirational people to develop them into confident and equipped netball coaches.

We provide personal development opportunities for our coaches through a mentorship program undertaken with the Belle Netball Head Coach. We know coaches excel with a strong, holisitc knowledge of the game, so we also offer our coaches umpiring skills sessions and encourage a transition to the umpiring pathway should this be where their strengths are.

Coaches (and umpires) are connected with their local netball club and/or association and transitioned to winter season volunteering.

Community

Nothing like developing a sense of belonging through your sporting community.

Belle Netball supports local netball communities by:

- Growing the local netball community and transitioning them to local WInter Competitions.

- Assisting in the development of coaches and umpires

- Providing fundraising opportunities for local clubs.

- Opening conversations and networks with local businesses for sponsorship opportunities.

$3 from every registered player will be donated directly to local associations to be utilised in growing the national Net Set Go program.

Meet Jenna

Jenna is the Founder of Belle Netball and Belle Movement located on the Peninsula on the Central Coast, NSW.

Jenna is passionate about developing a lifelong love for physical activity and is now using her elite sporting background to ensure young girls and boys can love physical activity too.

To Jenna, community is everything - "It goes without saying that I am so passionate about exercise and its benefits to overall health. However what I hope to create with Belle (Movement & Netball), is a place that will bring people together in a space where they feel included, they feel welcome, and they feel motivated to move.

Having grown up in the sporting community, I always felt connected to a special group of like-minded people. There was always a friendly face at the local surf club to help "wash the day away"."

Jenna is an ex-athlete, has worked in elite netball and now gives back to her local club where her two daughters play netball.
