A little reminder from the sidelines 🫶🏐

Our kids want us to be their biggest supporters but sometimes the best support we can give is simply letting them play.

The shouting, instructions and constant calls from the sidelines can be frustrating for young athletes, even when they come from a place of love and wanting to help. Sometimes, what our kids need most is the freedom to learn, make decisions, build confidence and enjoy the game.

As parents and caregivers, we all play a role in shaping our children's sporting experience - and a positive environment can make all the difference.

💙 Have you checked out the SALT - Sport and Life Training Positive Sports Parenting course?

Thanks to the generous support of Community Bank Doncaster East and Templestowe Village, all Manningham Netball Saturday club and representative parents and caregivers have FREE access to this self-guided online program, with practical strategies to help support their child's sporting journey, confidence and wellbeing.

The course can be completed at your own pace, whenever it suits you.

👉 Contact your club for your unique access link and code and take advantage of this fantastic opportunity.

Let's work together to make netball a positive experience for every player, both on and off the court.
