HKNA will be starting a NEW Regional Netball Academy  (RNA) funded by LCSD for girls 16 years or younger.  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, a total of 15 sessions for each squad.  The Academy Assistant Coach Program have been split into blocks of 2 or 3 consecutive sessions for each squad.  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.  1^st round of nomination closes on 12^th July 2010.  If spots are still available after this date, HKNA will request for the 2^nd round of nominations at a later date.

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.  

At the end of the Academy Program, a team of twelve athletes will be selected to tour Singapore to participate in the 3rd International Youth Challenge at Singapore Sports School from 27th November to 4th December 2010.  Depending on the funding, HKNA will be looking to send an Assistant Coach for this tour.  The assistant coach could be identified and be selected from the Academy Assistant Coach Program.

Here are the blocks available for the Academy Assistant Coach Program:  Island and Kowloon each have four 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.
