At home training
Update re Coronavirus
The current coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on our everyday lives as well as our netball activities. With all netball in Northern Ireland now suspended, we know that many clubs haven't been able to finish off the season as they would have liked.
If you want some ideas to stay fit whilst we're self isolating, Senior S&C Coach Mike Bentley has created the following at home workouts that all club members and underage national squad athletes can complete to stay netball ready.
Block 1
Repeat for 2-3 weeks

Block 1 Session 1 exercises | Block 1 Session 2 exercises  | Block 1 Session 3 45-60 minute cardio (run/bike/row etc but aim to keep moving for the full 45-60min. Record your distance over the time and aim to improve this the next time you complete this session) |
Block 2
Repeat for 2-3 weeks

Block 2 Session 1 exercises | Block 2 Session 2 exercises  | Block 2 Session 3 - Fartlek run session Jog for 10 minutes to warm-up then pick a landmark in the distance (eg telephone pole, tree, building) and run to it at a faster pace. When you reach it, recover at your normal running pace for as long as you need (just don’t fully stop); find a new landmark and speed up again. Continue this for the rest of the session - adapt the distance you run/recover so that you are challenged but still able to fully complete the run without stopping |
Mobility session
Work through a quick mobility session with S&C Coach Mike Bentley. Complete before or after your training sessions, or first thing in the morning to stay flexible
We'll be adding more videos and updates to this page over the coming weeks but check out our Youtube channel page for videos of the workouts.
Ball handling skills
This is also an excellent time to work on your own individual skills - all you need is a bit of space and a ball (any type of ball will do!)
We will be posting training ideas for you to work on at home, and you can check out other netballers and coaches on social media for more tips and ideas, for example
