Another season of Goulburn Valley netball is right around the corner and with that comes the new crop of junior netballers - and future stars - who are dipping their toe in the sport thanks to Netball Australia’s NetSetGo program.
Tatura Netball Association has partnered with the program - a starter clinic for girls and boys aged five to 10 years - to encourage junior participation in one of the region, state and country’s favourite sports.
Tatura NetSetGo coordinator Heather Bailey said the sessions are focused on the children’s enjoyment and skill development.
“We always have a lot of enthusiastic little girls who turn up so it has been going good,” Bailey said.
“It’s a program devised by Netball Australia so we follow that.

“They do warm-up games like tunnel ball, or balancing activities, then throwing activities and structured skill development for throwing and catching.
