About the Program
The Netball Program is part of the Targeted Sports Program (TSP) of Endeavour Sports High School. Students are offered the opportunity to combine academic studies with training at school. Students have access to specialised coaching for technical and tactical netball skills, specialist positional skills, strength and conditioning and umpiring, as well as education for off court high performance behaviours. Ongoing monitoring of athletes occurs throughout the program with individual testing in all components related to Netball.
