Clinic Program

Change to clinic procedure...

Registration is between 9am - 9:30am. Athletes need to be there between those times to register. A short introduction will begin at 9:30am and Warm Up to start by 9:40am.

Babble clinics are aimed at athletes aged 9-15 years old and attempt to offer these athletes a fun new way to enhance their skills in the game of Netball. Working in groups of up to 18 people, athletes are given the opportunity to work with a variety of coaches, learning new skills, drills and strategies that they can implement in to their game.

In its 2nd year Babble will not repeat the exact same clinic as it did in 2009. For those attending the Lakeside, Maitland and Newcastle clinics you will notice the format to be similar but the content to be different. There will be some areas of repetition to see if you have improved since last year.

Parents are more than welcome to stay and learn with the kids, picking up new drills or ideas to take back to your club teams.
