Our Netball Class Programmes by Age Group

Every child develops differently, and their netball training should reflect that. The Netball Academy runs four dedicated programmes in Singapore, each designed around how players learn, move, and grow at their specific stage.

Ages 6 to 7 — Foundation Movement Skills

Building movement, confidence, and friendships through play

At this age, it is not about drills and tactics but it is about building confidence with movement. This netball class introduces young players to seven fundamental skills that form the building blocks for every court sport: running, jumping, leaping, sidestepping, hopping, skipping, and galloping.

Sessions are structured as fun, game-based activities rather than formal training. Children develop hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and balance while playing alongside new friends. Research from the Australian Sports Commission confirms that children aged 6 to 8 benefit most from movement-focused learning rather than sport-specific coaching (Source: Sport Australia Netball Lesson Plan). With netball in Singapore embedded in the school system from primary level, building these movement foundations early gives your child a genuine head start before formal training begins.

 

What your child will work towards:

  1. Sprinting with proper stride and arm swing
  2. Changing direction with control
  3. Jumping and landing on both feet
  4. Balancing confidently on one leg
  5. Passing the ball smoothly between hands

The goal is simple: Have fun. Stay active. Build the coordination and confidence that sets your child up for everything that comes next, on and off the court.

Give your child the best possible start in sport and watch their confidence grow from day one.

Ages 8 to 9 — Building Strong Foundations

From playground energy to real netball technique

This is the netball class where structured training begins. Players move beyond movement exploration and start learning the actual techniques that define the sport like proper footwork, accurate passing, and reading the court.

For most families, this is when school netball in Singapore starts to matter. CCA selections can begin as early as Primary 3, and arriving unprepared means competing against children who have already been training. The Netball Academy gives your child a genuine head start. Our coaches know exactly what school selectors look for and build those skills into every session.

What your child will work towards:

  1. Leaping forward with 1-2 landing footwork and catching on the move
  2. Dodging and changing direction to lose defenders
  3. Pivoting on the dominant foot and delivering an accurate chest pass
  4. Identifying court lines and each position’s area of play

The goal: Prepare for CCA selection and build confidence in core netball skills that carry forward for years.

 

Players also begin developing early positional awareness at this stage — learning where each position plays on the court and starting to discover which role suits them best. Training on purpose-built courts at Kallang Netball Centre helps players get comfortable in a real match environment, building familiarity with proper court markings and regulation goalposts from an early age.

CCA trials are close

Ages 10 to 12 — Introduction to Competitive Netball

Structured training that meets every player where they are

This netball class bridges the gap between casual play and competitive readiness. Whether your child has some experience from school CCA or is picking up a netball for the first time, this programme gives them the structured coaching needed to develop proper technique and game understanding.

Players learn how the sport actually works — the rules, the positions, and how individual skills connect during a real match. Netball features seven distinct positions, each with a defined area of play on the court. Understanding these roles and court markings is one of the first things players focus on, building the tactical foundation they need to play with purpose and confidence.

The programme follows a learn-at-your-pace approach. Every child develops differently, and our coaches tailor their guidance to where each player is right now. Some pick up footwork quickly but need more time with passing accuracy. Others grasp the rules immediately but need support building confidence in game situations. That flexibility is what makes this netball class work for players at different starting points.

Focus areas:

  1. Footwork fundamentals — jumping, 1-2 landing, pivoting
  2. Ball handling — catching, chest pass, shoulder pass
  3. Netball rules (Part I)

The goal: Develop solid technique, court awareness, and the confidence to play in real match situations.

Once players achieve their skill milestones, they have the option to progress into an intermediate netball class where training becomes more game-focused and competitive. This clear progression pathway keeps players motivated and gives families a visible sense of development.

 

For parents exploring netball in Singapore for the first time, this programme is the ideal entry point — structured enough to develop real skills, yet flexible enough to let every child grow at their own pace.

 

Ready to get your child on the court?

Ages 13 to 16 — Developing Thinking Players

From knowing the basics to owning the game

This is not a netball class where players run drills on repeat. This is where young athletes learn to read the game, make smart decisions under pressure, and understand why they are doing what they are doing on the court.

Coaches challenge players to think critically during every session. Where is the space? How do you create an advantage before the ball even arrives? What changes when the opposition shifts formation? These are the questions that separate confident, adaptable players from those who rely on rehearsed patterns.

 

Singapore’s national netball team is ranked 22nd in the world and won the 2024 Asian Netball Championship (Source: World Netball Rankings, 2025). The pathway from grassroots netball in Singapore to competitive and representative play is real  and this netball class at The Netball Academy is where that journey takes shape.

 

Focus areas:

  1. Spatial awareness and court vision
  2. Attacking concepts and intelligent movement
  3. Defending strategies and positioning
  4. Court strategies — centre pass plays and downline execution
  5. Netball rules (Part II)

The goal: Develop game intelligence, tactical awareness, and the confidence to compete at school and club level across Singapore.

Training at Kallang Netball Centre gives players a professional, match-ready environment where they can put tactical concepts into practice on purpose-built courts. Whether your child is preparing for school team selection, inter-school competitions, or simply wants to play smarter and harder, this programme provides the coaching structure and competitive environment to get them there.

Make sure your child is ready for every netball class at The Netball Academy. Here is everything they need in their training bag.

Comfortable, breathable sportswear suitable for Singapore’s warm climate. Opt for lightweight tops and shorts or skorts that allow full range of movement on the court.  Need official training gear? Browse The Netball Academy shop for our full range of branded attire.

2. Water Bottle

Hydration is essential, especially during outdoor sessions at Kallang Netball Centre. Bring a filled water bottle to every netball class.

3. Socks

A good pair of sports socks provides cushioning and helps prevent blisters during quick footwork drills and direction changes.

4. Towel

A small towel is handy for wiping down between drills, particularly for outdoor training in Singapore’s humidity.

5. Healthy Snacks

A light snack like a banana or energy bar keeps energy levels up before or after a netball class. Avoid heavy meals right before training.

6. Hair Ties / Clips

Long hair should be tied back securely for safety and comfort. Keep spare hair ties in the bag just in case.

7. Ankle Tape / Guard

Optional but recommended for players with previous ankle injuries or those in our older netball class programmes where gameplay is more intense.

8. Netball Journal

Encourage your child to jot down what they learnt after each session. Tracking progress builds self-awareness and keeps players motivated throughout their journey at The Netball Academy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Netball Classes

1. What age can my child start a netball class at The Netball Academy?

Children can join our netball class programmes from age 6. At this stage, kids have developed enough coordination and focus to benefit from structured group training in a fun and supportive setting. Our youngest netball class is designed specifically for 6 to 7 year olds and focuses on fundamental movement skills through games and play-based activities. There is no prior experience required as our coaches at The Netball Academy guide complete beginners through every step of the learning process. We welcome players up to 16 years old across all our venues in Singapore, with dedicated programmes for each age group to ensure the right level of challenge and development. Whether your child is just starting out or looking to build on existing skills, there is a netball class that fits their needs perfectly.

2. Where are your netball class sessions held in Singapore?

Our netball class sessions take place at multiple convenient locations across Singapore, giving families the flexibility to choose based on location and preference. The primary outdoor venue is Kallang Netball Centre, Singapore’s dedicated netball facility located within the Sports Hub precinct, offering purpose-built courts with proper line markings and regulation-height goalposts. We also conduct outdoor training at St Andrew’s Junior College in the Potong Pasir area on Saturday afternoons. For families who prefer guaranteed weatherproof sessions, The Netball Academy runs indoor training at Bedok Green Primary School and St Andrew’s Secondary School, both featuring sheltered courts where our netball class continues rain or shine. All four venues are accessible by public transport, and Kallang Netball Centre also offers ample parking for families driving in. The Netball Academy delivers the same coaching quality and curriculum at every venue across Singapore.

3. What will my child learn in a netball class at The Netball Academy?

The skills taught in each netball class depend on your child’s age group and current ability level, following a structured progression pathway. Players aged 6 to 7 focus on fundamental movement skills including running, jumping, balancing, and basic ball handling that form the foundation for all court sports. Children aged 8 to 9 progress to actual netball techniques such as footwork, passing, court awareness, and understanding each position’s area of play, while also preparing for school CCA selections in Singapore. Our netball class for ages 10 to 12 introduces game rules, positional play, and tactical awareness at a comfortable learn-at-your-pace level that suits complete beginners. The most advanced programme at The Netball Academy is our 13 to 16 year old netball class, which develops spatial awareness, attacking and defending strategies, centre pass plays, and match intelligence. Every programme is designed to build real skills that transfer directly to school CCA tryouts and competitive play.

4. How does The Netball Academy prepare players for school CCA selection in Singapore?

Preparing students for netball CCA selection is a key focus at The Netball Academy, particularly for players in our 8 to 9 and 10 to 12 year old programmes. Our coaches understand exactly what school selectors across Singapore look for during CCA trials and structure every netball class to develop those specific skills and qualities. Players learn proper footwork technique, passing accuracy, court awareness, and positional understanding that helps them stand out during tryouts and perform with confidence under pressure. We also build mental readiness through regular practice, positive reinforcement, and simulated game situations so children know what to expect when trial day arrives. Many of our students have successfully gained places in their school netball teams after training at The Netball Academy, giving them a genuine competitive advantage over untrained candidates. With netball part of the curriculum in more than 200 schools across Singapore, starting early at our netball class gives your child the best preparation possible.

5. What makes Kallang Netball Centre a good place to train?

Kallang Netball Centre is the premier netball facility in Singapore and provides a professional training environment that elevates every netball class session held there. The venue features purpose-built courts with proper line markings and regulation-height goalposts, giving players an authentic match-day experience every week. Being situated within Singapore Sports Hub, Kallang Netball Centre is easily accessible via public transport with both Kallang MRT and Stadium MRT nearby, plus ample parking for families who prefer to drive. Training at a facility dedicated entirely to netball helps young players take their development seriously and reinforces their commitment to the sport. The Netball Academy is proud to run netball class sessions at Kallang Netball Centre as it represents the highest standard of netball training facilities available in Singapore. The venue’s atmosphere and professional setup also help players feel confident and motivated throughout every session.

6. Do you offer indoor netball class options in Singapore?

Yes, The Netball Academy offers indoor netball class sessions at two excellent sheltered facilities in Singapore for families who prefer guaranteed training regardless of weather. Bedok Green Primary School provides sheltered courts with multiple session times available on Saturdays, making it a popular choice for families in the eastern part of Singapore with busy weekend schedules. St Andrew’s Secondary School offers another indoor option on Saturday afternoons, providing a convenient and consistent training environment for our 16 and Under age group. These indoor venues ensure that no netball class is ever cancelled due to rain, which is especially important in Singapore’s tropical climate where sudden downpours are common. The Netball Academy delivers the same quality coaching, structured curriculum, and player development at all indoor venues as we do at our outdoor sessions at Kallang Netball Centre. Players can also switch between indoor and outdoor locations if their schedule or preferences change throughout the term.

7. How often should my child attend a netball class?

For most children, attending one netball class per week at The Netball Academy provides a solid balance of consistent skill development and adequate recovery time between sessions. This weekly frequency allows players to build on what they learn each session, reinforcing techniques and developing muscle memory without becoming physically fatigued or mentally overwhelmed. As children grow older and show increased passion for the sport, families may consider adding a second weekly netball class to accelerate their progress and deepen their understanding of the game. The Netball Academy offers multiple session times across different venues in Singapore, including both Kallang Netball Centre and our indoor facilities, making it easier to fit additional training into busy family schedules. We recommend discussing your child’s individual goals, energy levels, and capacity with our coaches who can advise on the ideal training frequency for their age and stage of development. The most important thing is that your child enjoys every netball class and stays motivated to keep improving week after week.



8. Can my child join a netball class if they have never played netball before?

Absolutely, The Netball Academy welcomes complete beginners at every age level across all our netball class programmes in Singapore. Our structured curriculum is specifically designed to accommodate children with no prior netball experience alongside those with some background in the sport, so no one ever feels out of place. Coaches assess each new player individually during their first netball class and provide appropriate guidance, encouragement, and challenges based on their current abilities and confidence level. Our learn-at-your-pace approach means beginners are never rushed through skills or made to feel behind their peers who may have started earlier. Many of our most confident and skilled players today started their journey at The Netball Academy having never touched a netball before their very first session. Whether your child is 6 or 16, our netball class will meet them exactly where they are and help them grow from there.

9. What should my child wear and bring to a netball class?

Children should wear comfortable sports attire and supportive court shoes with non-marking soles to each netball class at The Netball Academy. We recommend breathable, lightweight clothing suitable for Singapore’s warm and humid climate, along with shoes that provide good grip and ankle support for the quick movements and direction changes that netball demands. Players should always bring a water bottle to stay properly hydrated throughout the session, which is especially important for outdoor training at Kallang Netball Centre where sessions run for up to two hours. The Netball Academy provides all training equipment including netball balls and coloured bibs for every netball class, so families do not need to purchase any extra gear before their child starts. As your child progresses and commits further to regular training in Singapore, our coaches can recommend specific netball shoes and accessories that offer better court performance and support. Keeping it simple at the start means your child can focus entirely on enjoying their netball class without worrying about equipment.

10. How do I enrol my child in a netball class at The Netball Academy?

Enrolling your child in a netball class at The Netball Academy is straightforward and can be completed entirely online through our website. We encourage all new families to start with a trial session so your child can experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and interact with potential teammates before committing to a full term in Singapore. During the trial netball class, our coaches will observe your child’s current abilities and recommend the most suitable programme based on their age, experience, and development goals. Once you are ready to proceed with regular training, you can complete registration and payment through our online system and select your preferred session times and venue, whether that is Kallang Netball Centre or one of our indoor facilities. The Netball Academy team is also available via WhatsApp and email to answer any questions, help you choose the right netball class, and guide you through the entire enrolment process. We make joining as easy as possible so your child can get on the court and start enjoying netball without delay.

11. What is the difference between your beginner and intermediate netball class?

The Netball Academy offers both beginner and intermediate levels within our netball class programmes to ensure every player trains at the right standard for their current ability. Our beginner netball class, designed primarily for players aged 10 to 12, focuses on teaching fundamental skills from scratch including basic footwork, catching, chest and shoulder passes, and an introduction to netball rules and court positions. Players in the beginner programme learn at their own pace with no pressure to rush through content, and coaches provide individual attention to help each child build confidence on the court. Once a player consistently demonstrates the desired skill milestones and shows readiness for a greater challenge, they can progress into the intermediate netball class where training becomes more game-focused with tactical elements and match play scenarios. This clear progression pathway at The Netball Academy keeps players motivated because they can see tangible goals ahead of them and track their own improvement over time in Singapore. Our coaches will always discuss progression with parents first to make sure both the child and family feel confident about moving to the next level.

12. Why is netball a good sport for children in Singapore?

Netball is one of the most popular team sports for young players in Singapore, with the sport embedded in the school CCA system and supported at every level by Netball Singapore. Joining a netball class helps children develop essential physical skills including agility, coordination, balance, and cardiovascular fitness in a fun, team-based environment that keeps them active and healthy. Beyond the physical benefits, netball teaches valuable life skills such as teamwork, communication, strategic thinking, discipline, and the ability to perform under pressure — all qualities that serve children well in school and beyond. Netball is part of the curriculum in more than 200 schools across Singapore, which means children who train regularly at a netball class gain a significant advantage during school CCA selections and inter-school competitions. Singapore’s national team is ranked 22nd in the world and won the 2024 Asian Netball Championship (Source: World Netball Rankings, 2025), reflecting the country’s growing strength and investment in the sport at every level. The Netball Academy provides the ideal environment for children to experience all these benefits through our expert-led netball class programmes at Kallang Netball Centre and indoor venues across the island.
