Coaching

At Blue Jays Netball Club we are here for our players in providing a safe environment which leads to building skill development, court knowledge, teamwork and enjoyment of the game. We aim to be positive role models for all players involved in our sport.

As a club, we recognise how crucial a coach is and therefore provide support and training to assist our coaches in becoming the best mentors they can be. We greatly appreciate the voluntary time and effort our coaches put into training and mentoring our netball players!

The role of a coach also comes with responsibilities including abiding by the Club's Code of Conduct and ensuring legal checks and requirements are undertaken to enable the person to work with children.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you're interested in becoming a Blue Jays coach!

Blue Card System

REQUIREMENTS FOR WORKING WITH CHILDREN â€“ The Blue Card System
All Blue coaches are required to have a Blue Care Card when working with children. 
The purpose of the blue card system is to promote safety for children and young people in environments where they are required to be and those that promote their physical, social and cultural development (such as sporting or community groups).  
What is a blue card? Blue cards are issued by the Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian once it has carried out the blue card check to see if a person is eligible to work in the areas of child-related work covered by the Commission’s Act. If a person is eligible, they are issued a positive notice letter and a blue card.
