HKNA will be running Regional Netball 16's Academy  funded by LCSD for girls 13-16 years of age.  The Head Coach of this Academy is Connie Wong (Current HK Youth Netball Team Head Coach and a Netball Australia Level Two accredited coach).  HKNA is offering YOU the opportunity to assist and be mentored by the Head Coach during the Academy's sessions.    Please note that this is a voluntary position therefore no monetary assistance will be provided.

The RNA will have two squads running, on on the Island side and one on the Kowloon side.  The Academy Assistant Coach Program have been split into six blocks.  If you would like to be involved, please nominate three blocks you are available for if possible.   If you are only available for one or two blocks, put a ‘N/A’ in the left-over preference/s.  However, places are limited and it will be first come - first serve basis.  You must be available to attend all the sessions within the block/s you have nominated.  Email Connie (conniewongnetball@hotmail.com) if you are interested to see which block is still available. 

Roles and Duties:

During the sessions, the Head Coach will be in charge of planning and conducting the sessions.  You, as the assistant coach, will lead various small groups in assigned group drills.  Your role is to supervise and coach your small group, giving them appropriate feedback and checking for player's understanding and are doing the correct thing.   You will meet with the Head Coach 15 minutes prior to start of the session so that the session's focus and drills could be explained and discussed.  The Head Coach will communicate with you on what to look out for and the 'teaching points' you should be giving feedback on to the players.  

This is a good opportunity for you to gain more confidence in coaching under the guidance of a mentor coach.  Also you have the chance to learn new drills and skills to teach to your own players.  This will count as coaching hours in your Coaching Log Book towards your re-accreditation.  

Here are the blocks available for the Academy Assistant Coach Program:  Island and Kowloon each have three blocks available, please look at the dates, times and venues carefully and only nominate if you can commit to ALL the sessions within that block. Coaches in Island 1 and Kowloon 1 will be given more opportunities to take some responsibilities for parts of the program to help develop their coaching skills.  This will be communicated with the Head Coach beforehand and you would be given plenty of time to prepare for it.

Please note that the training times and venues for the Kowloon squad may vary from week to week.

Directions: Hong Kong Park Sports Centre       Lam Tin South Sports Centre   Fa Yuen Street Sports Centre         Kowloon Park Sports Centre
