The Netball Academy

St Mary's College is endorsed as a Netball SA Specialist Netball school.

The Netball Academy is a program open to students demonstrating talent and potential in netball. The program is conducted both after school hours and as an expanded curriculum within the College.

The Academy is open to students from Middle School onwards. Students who display advanced netball skills from Years 6 to10 are invited to train as part of a Netball Development Squad and represent St Mary's College in the State Knockout Netball Competition, Catholic Girls Secondary Netball Competition, Southern Zone Competitions and in a National Carnival held on the Gold Coast each July. The Netball Academy is available as an elective subject in Years 8, 9 and 10. Year 11 and 12 students currently complete the components outside school hours.

Students who attain membership in the Netball Academy can complete the requirements of the program within their PE lessons, as well as offline trainings and the Stage 1 Community Studies subject. Training also consists of early mornings and lunchtime sessions.

Many of our external coaches are Old Scholars and are current State, National and Premier League Players. All coaches support the ethos of the College and the aims of the sporting program.
