Mini Minties Net-Set-GO is a program specifically designed to focus on the foundation level skills of athletes aligned with Netball Australia.  The program is run for school children who are currently in Prep, Grades 1, 2 and 3 at school. It is a fun, safe, social and active program for girls and boys aged 5 to 10.

BDNA also runs a Net-Set-GO program on Thursday after school.

Program Focus

  • Developing Foundation skills

  • Understanding game day and umpiring

  • The Rules of Netball

  • Skill and teamwork development 

Session Structure
The Mini Minties Net-Set-GO program is divided into three tiers; Net, Set and GO, meaning that your child will learn at a pace that’s right for their age and ability. Each week your child will take part in skill based activities that will help them develop fundamental movement skills, as well as important social skills like team work.

Skill development activities aim to teach correct technique across all positions on the netball court. Each week drills will start off quite basic, this allows coaches to assess player technique and make corrections where necessary.  Drills will advance over the weeks to become more complex as the young athletes master the techniques and leading to modified matches towards the end of the program.

This Includes:

  • Correct passing techniques

  • Correct landing and pivoting (to reduce stepping and mitigate risk of injury)

  • Correct Shooting

  • Fitness for netball

  • Court positions and game strategy
