The Junior Leadership Program, established in 1998, has seen well over two hundred young members graduate, with many of those graduates taking on leadership roles within our clubs and the Southern Tasmanian Netball Association itself. 

 

Purpose

The Junior Leadership Program has been designed to empower junior players with the skills, confidence, and real-world experience they need to lead both on and off the court. Through a dynamic blend of mentorship, interactive workshops, and hands-on project work, this program aims to transform potential into action. Over 12 weeks, participants will not only learn from experts but also collaborate on meaningful initiatives that strengthen our clubs and enrich the wider community. The program isn’t just about learning skills—it’s about leading, applying, and creating change.​

 

Learning Outcomes

Through this program, participants will gain knowledge on a variety of subjects relating to netball and beyond. By the end of the program, we expect participants will have gained a greater knowledge in the following areas;

• Communication

• Clarity & Leadership Styles

• Confidence

• Women in Leadership

• The Importance of Culture

​

The Junior Leadership Program also allows participants to help out with STNA events towards the end of the season. These events include; 

• Zambrero Premier League MVP Count  

• STNA Junior Presentation Night

• Zambrero Premier League Grand Final Night  

• STNA Winter Roster Grand Finals  

 

Participants will be invited to attend the Junior Presentation Night on the 22nd of August 2026, to celebrate their achievements and receive their graduation certificate.
