Coaching is a fantastic way to be involved in our club, support our players, and help develop the next generation of netballers. Whether you’re experienced or new to coaching, we would love to hear from you.
You will be supported by the club every step of the way — and if you don’t want to do it alone, grab a friend and work alongside each other!
We’re also excited to share that our club will be hosting a Netball SA coaching session for our club prior to the start of the season.
This session will be delivered by Netball SA and is open to all Barossa District Netball Club coaches who are interested in developing their skills, gaining fresh ideas, and building confidence ahead of the 2026 season.
📅 Date: 18 March 2026
