LSE Netball Coaches
For many netballers in England, their coach is the individual that empowers them to fulfil their potential, inspiring them to carry on playing and enjoy the sport. Having the passion, enthusiasm and willingness to learn are qualities needed by any coach. You may be a parent who wants to help at their child’s local school or club, or maybe you have been playing for a while and want to explore a different way of getting involved in the sport. Whatever your reason for getting into coaching, we can help you to find the right training to progress your knowledge and understanding and give you the confidence to realise your coaching ambitions.
Why start coaching? |
There is no single route into coaching. For most coaches, it will be one or more of the following:

How do I start coaching? |
In the first instance talk to your local Netball Development Officer {link} who might be able to put you in touch with a local club who might be able to support you on your coaching journey.
Then, depending on your knowledge of netball, you need to attend a basic coaching course run by England Netball as part of the UK Coaching Certificate network {link}. The entry point for most new coaches is at Level 1. However those who have experience of teaching or coaching in another sport, along with a good knowledge of netball can attend at Level 2. |
How many coaching roles are there? |
We tend to think of netball coaches as being part of one large family. Some coaches will only want to work with young players, others will desire to coach performance athletes. Clink on these links to hear coaches talking about their role in the Netball Coaching Family:
