Let me introduce myself...
Hi there, my name is Tara, I'm 33 and a single mumma to my wonderful 5 year old boy, Reeve.
I work part time, study Youth Work and I am actively involved in coaching Netball and supporting my club.
I am extremely passionate about Netball. I coach at club level, including Juniors (15's) and our two highest Senior grades, I have been the President of my club, I have coached at Association level and I am currently coaching at Academy level - which is the next pathway from Association. I love watching players develop and learn (both Junior and Senior). When you teach them a skill and it clicks and then you see it used on court is something that makes me a proud coach!
Being a busy mum, working, studying etc I sometimes struggle with trying to put together sessions for my teams - especially when they are different age groups and different levels. You don't want to overload them, you don't want to confuse them (or yourself!). I have learnt that simplicity is the key!
This site is to help coaches - whether they be first time coaches, been coaching for a while or just wanting to get a few ideas. I have put together sessions that focus on certain skills in attack and defence, set plays, footwork and even fitness!
The session is done for you from the warm-up all the way through to your court play! You don't have to use the entire session, you can pick and pull from various session and make your own!
I am also hoping to collaborate with other coaches and add their tips/sessions as well. If you would like me to focus on a certain skill or area please let me know I am more than happy to help! If you would also like to add any of your own session please feel free to contact me at thenetballbible@hotmail.com I would love your input and also would welcome any feedback.
I look forward to you joining me on this coaching adventure!
