Welcome to EmpowerPlay . The EmpowerPlay platform aims to provide current and potential young netballers a fun, engaging and social experience that adds value to the traditional participation of the game. The program is run within the context of local and school run netball clubs to assist young players, aged 9-13 years, build their self-confidence, bond with their team mates and discover their own strengths and self-worth
Why should your Association or Club run EmpowerPlay?
While the benefits of the program are many, the main focus is:
- Personal growth by understanding confidence, respecting and understanding other personalities as well as covering different aspects of growth – as a team and also individually.
- Participants of EmpowerPlay are more inclined to become future leaders and give back to the club
- Member retention
- Potential growth in participation
- Facilitating a stronger connection between the coach and their team.
- Providing the tools to be confident – on and off the court
- Develop trust and understanding with our peers
- Bonding with team mates and a strong, supportive team culture
- Instilling individuals with self-belief
How Does it Work?
EmpowerPlay is made up of four modules, each comprising of three sessions. Each session needs approximately 60-90 minutes and is made up of both active based theory (POWER) and physical (PLAY) components.
The Empowered Module is about the individual developing their self-confidence and becoming self-aware so they can value their potential relationships and passions.
The Empowered module activities focus on the individual participant learning about and knowing who they are and understanding how they fit into a team
The Resilience Module provides the individual with learnings to bounce back when things don’t go their way and taking proactive steps to turn their negatives into positives through problem solving together, using their strengths.
The Resilience module activities look at opening new areas of the game up to players; learning a new position and problem solving.
The Kindness Module points the individual in the direction of learning to be kind to self and kind to others through giving to others, communication and showing compassion.
The Kindness module is about the development of communication skills that assist with self awareness and becoming conscious of being kind to ourselves and others.
The Confidence Module is all about knowing who I am and how I fit into my team.
The Confident Module uses the theme of ‘Follow the Yellow Brick Road’ to lead the individual to a place that awakens their dreams and shows them how a little preparation can help them get where they want to go.
