Dissecting your team's game play then establishing what went right and what could do with being worked on is a highly advantageous skill to have.  The same applies when observing and analysing your opponent's strengths and weaknesses.  Learnings that come from analysis can then be used to great effect by both coach and player alike in strategising successful game plans and this type of preparation can often give you the edge over your opponent.

If you're a coach who's keen to upskill and expand your netball know-how here's your chance to make the most of your off-season for your own personal development.  Why not attend some of our coaching courses aimed at teaching you the best techniques, sharing ideas and supplying you with the right knowledge to be the best coach you can be?  Course content has been compiled by experts from Netball New Zealand and even offer the chance to gain recognised accreditation for your efforts.

The next course on offer is Game Analysis which allows coaches the chance to learn how to:
1.  Identify a tactical aspect of the game and develop a tool to analyse it.
2.  Collate, summarise and reflect on information about the tactical aspect of the game.
3.  Develop and implement a team talked based on the information collected from analysis.

This course covers a number of analytical areas such as tactical analysis and identifying critical success factors.  Discuss the benefits of data collection, collation and interpretation in establishing strengths to use to full potential within your own team and weaknesses to perhaps exploit in your opposition.  Develop a game plan, learn some commonly used terminology, learn how to formulate rousing team talks and flourish thanks to opposition analysis.

We welcome you to attend this handy learning opportunity suitable for coaches who have already completed the Player Centred Coaching course and are keen to build on the basics - let us help you add more tricks to your coaching toolkit.

Also a pre-requisite module for those aiming to move from CCA to PCA or those working towards completing their CCA II accreditation level.

Suitable for all levels – those who are first-timers and those with plenty of years experience seeking fresh ideas.
