The 6 principles
NetballSmart is an evidence-based framework made up of 6 principles. It helps improve your performance in sport by preventing injuries.
Smart Preparation
Smart Preparation prepares the mind and body before you reach the court.
Dynamic warm-up, cool down and recovery
Warming-up before Netball prepares you for the upcoming activity. Cooling down prepares you for the rest of the day, while recovery prepares you for the next training session or game.
Smart Movement
Smart Movement is developing a player’s skill and technique correctly which allows them to compete and enjoy their sport.
Smart Training
Smart Training is ensuring the players body is prepared to play. This includes loading, endurance, strength, power and flexibility.
Smart Player Wellbeing/Welfare
Smart Player Well-being/Welfare is ensuring there is a holistic awareness and approach to a player’s health and wellbeing.
Smart Injury Management
Smart Injury Management is ensuring injuries are identified, assessed and reported early.
<<<< ACC and Netball New Zealand have developed several resources for coaches, players and umpires that are designed to help enhance performance and prevent injury.
