Netball Australia offers a six tiered coaching qualification from total beginner to the high performance coach. Whilst you do not have to undertake any courses to coach netball at club level, if you have the time, it is encouraged.
The entry level to your coaching journey is the Foundation course which is online only and a simple introduction to the fundamentals of grassroots netball coaching.
Wests regularly hold Development courses which are online and face to face getting a little deeper into the nitty gritty of coaching netball.
