Junior Performance Academy – Pre-Season

Set the tone for your season.

Get ready to hit the court firing with Elevate Netball’s five-week Junior Performance Academy. With the option to attend up to two sessions each week, players will build fitness, develop their court skills and learn the tactics and strategy skills required for club trials, representative trials and the season ahead.

Whether your player is building their foundations or preparing for a more competitive season, the academy provides focused training, opportunities to challenge themselves and support to grow their confidence.

Two Types of Training

Court Skills
Develop passing, footwork, attacking and defensive movements, with a focus on applying skills through tactics, strategies and game situations.

Court-Specific Training
Develop shooting, mid-court and defence skills while building an understanding of each role. Players can attend one, two or all three position-specific session types. Exploring different positions is encouraged to broaden their understanding of the court.

Choose Your Development Level

Development
For players turning 11 in 2027 who want to build their skills, including those who may pursue representative netball in the future. This level also suits older non-competitive players focused on improving their game rather than pursuing representative selection.

Performance
For competitive players aged 12–15 in 2027 who are pursuing representative pathways or playing in higher divisions of their Saturday competition. Players should have strong foundational court skills, as sessions progress into more advanced strategies, tactics and decision-making.

If you’re unsure which level suits your player, please contact us before booking.

Training That Works for Your Family

Choose from three academy locations, with each session clearly listed on the calendar so you can plan your attendance.

Players can attend up to two sessions each week, but attendance at both is not compulsory. We’ve kept the investment as affordable as possible, recognising that families may have other commitments during the program.

After You Book

You’ll receive a booking confirmation email, followed within 48 hours by the academy calendar, player registration form and relevant program information.

The registration form helps our coaches understand your player’s experience, goals and any support needs before training begins.

Attendance and Cancellations

Missed sessions are not refunded. Players are welcome to attend a session at another academy location to make up a missed session if it suits their schedule.

Your booking is a commitment to the full five-week program. We do not offer change-of-mind refunds if other commitments arise. If a player withdraws due to injury mid program, we will offer a credit towards a future program.

If we cancel a session due to unsafe weather conditions, we’ll try to arrange a make-up session. If this isn’t possible, we’ll provide a credit towards another Elevate program.

Each group is strictly capped at 20 players.
