JUNIOR PERFORMANCE

ACADEMY

WHY JOIN THE

ACADEMY

The Junior Academy is designed to support young netballers who are ready to train with purpose, improve their game and build the confidence to take the next step on court.

 

Players may use Academy sessions to prepare for rep trials, build confidence and skill alongside their twilight netball season, or continue developing during the off-season.

 

Each session is focused on helping players improve their court skills, game understanding and confidence through purposeful, face-to-face coaching.

Whether a player is working towards selection, wanting extra support during the Twilight season, or looking to keep progressing when regular training slows down, Academy gives them a structured way to keep building their game.

HOW IT

WORKS

The Academy is designed to give players structured support.

Once registered, players will be sent an Academy form to complete. This helps us understand their age, position, current skill level, goals and what they want to improve. From this, we can create a personalised at-home program for each player to continue working on their development outside of face-to-face sessions.

Players will then attend our 8-week Academy training block, where each session focuses on building key court skills.

During the school holidays (in the academy period), players will also have the option to attend position-specific sessions in Shooting, Midcourt and Defence. Players can choose the sessions that best suit their position and goals, or attend all sessions for a more complete development experience.

WHAT IS

INCLUDED

8 Weeks of 90-Minute Face-to-Face Sessions

Players will attend weekly 90-minute Academy sessions focused on skill development, court understanding and game-based learning. 

8-Week Personalised Home Program

Each player will receive a personalised home training program based on their Academy goals and development needs. This gives players clear direction on what to work on between face-to-face sessions.

Access to the Player Training App

Players will receive access to our Player Training App, which includes over 100 workouts and skill-based training options. This allows players to keep developing at home, on court or around their current netball commitments.

Academy Uniform

Each player will receive an Academy uniform as part of their registration. 

Court-Specific School Holiday Sessions

Players will have access to position-specific sessions across Shooting, Midcourt and Defence during the school holidays. Players can attend the sessions most relevant to their position, or complete up to six additional sessions for a broader development experience.

Weekly Mindset Sessions

The academy will include weekly mindset sessions to help players build confidence and focus. These sessions support the mental side of performance, including goal setting, preparation and resilience.

Academy Training Book

Each player will receive an Academy Training Book to track their progress, goals and key feedback points. This helps players stay accountable and reflect on their development throughout the program.

Real Feedback From Academy Families

My daughter loved the Academy sessions. She came home each week with something new to practice. Her confidence on court really improved.
MelissaParent of 11-year-old player
Academy gave my daughter the extra training she needed while still fitting around her regular netball season. She really enjoyed the small group environment and the feedback from the coaches.
Lucia Parent of 13-year-old player
I liked that the coaches explained why we were doing each activity and how it would help in a game. I feel more confident trialing for rep now.
SophiaPlayer in 12-Year Program
This was a great step up for my daughter. The sessions challenged her, but in a really positive way. She finished each week feeling proud of herself and excited to keep improving.
ChantelleParent of 11-year-old player
The home program was such a good addition. It gave my daughter something clear to work on between sessions instead of just doing extra training with no direction.
JoannaParent of 12-year-old player
We used Academy as preparation for trials and it was exactly what she needed. This was the first year she made the team!
KarliParent of 14-year-old player
The Academy helped me with my footwork and confidence. I liked the training sessions even though they were hard and the coaches gave really good tips.
AmeliaPlayer review
What stood out to me was how professional and organised the program was. The sessions, mindset work and training book all worked together and helped my daughter stay focused.
LeanneParent of 13-year-old player
My daughter has done a lot of netball training, but this felt different. It was more detailed, more specific and really helped her understand what she needed to work on as a player.
BrettParent of 12-year-old player

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

Who is the Academy for?

The Elevate Academy is designed for players who want structured development alongside their twilight season, during the off-season, or as preparation for rep trials.

We have programs available for players who are turning 11 this year, or have already turned 11 this year (born 2015), which, we also have programs for players aged 12-14 this year, which includes players born between 2012 and 2014.

The Academy is suited to players who are ready to keep building their skills, confidence, court understanding and overall game development.

All Academy programs will start in the first week of September.

A calendar for each Academy location has been included above on this page, so you can view the specific session dates and times for your chosen location.

The Academy programs are split into two age groups:

11 Years Program
For players who are turning 11 this year, or have already turned 11 this year. This is for players born in 2015.

Players in this age group must register for the 11 Years Program. Unfortunately, there are no exceptions, as this program has been designed specifically for this stage of player development.

12-14 Years Program
For players aged 12-14 this year. This is for players born between 2012 and 2014.

If your child is slightly older and would like to join the Academy, they are welcome to register for the 12-14 Years Program.

Academy runs as an 8-week program, with players attending one 90-minute face-to-face session each week.

Alongside the weekly sessions, each player will receive a personalised 8-week home program to complete in their own time. Players will also have access to the Player Training App, weekly mindset sessions, and their Academy Training Book to help track their progress.

During the school holidays, players will also have the option to attend additional court-specific sessions across Shooting, Midcourt and Defence.

Yes, players are welcome to train with their friends as long as they are in the same age group.

We are strict with players who have turned 11 this year, or are turning 11 this year, training in the 11 Years Program. This program has been designed specifically for that stage of development, so there are no exceptions for younger players moving up.

However, if your child has an older friend in the 12–14 years age group who would like to train with them, they are welcome to join the 11 Years Program. The 11 Years Program is a focused 8-week development program, and any player who joins this age group will still benefit from the coaching, structure and skill development.

Each Academy group is strictly capped at 20 players.

This cap allows us to keep the coaching environment focused, structured and supportive, while ensuring players receive quality feedback throughout the program. Unfortunately, there are no exceptions once a group is full.

The investment for the Academy program is $450.

We are offering an early bird price of $370 for a limited time. Once the early bird offer ends, the full investment will apply.
