Netball by Ivy

Kia Ora whanau!

This week I have had lots of questions why we don’t show any clips of our 1:1s or 2:1s. While we probably could show the talent coming through, we are mindful that it is not our journey or story to tell. It is important to know that while the physical skills are being nurtured and enhanced, for many of our girls they are working on there mindset, confidence and mental toughness. We do not want to in anyway hinder this process while they find themselves as athletes. While we are the ones delivering and training the programme, we are just a small part of there success. Unless given permission to upload there story we do not break there trust.

🏐 DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM 🏐

As well as running a program for our younger babies, we will also be running another one for any Y5-6 kids who’re wanting to learn the game of Netball!

After our program, players can expect to walk away with basic fundamentals such as:

🏐 Correct passing & footwork techniques
🏐 Understanding the rules of Netball
🏐 Basic understanding of the areas of a Netball court & the different positions

And more!

🏐 DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM 🏐

We have decided to run a 4-week program for our young Y1 to Y4 pēpi who are maybe just starting out in Netball & would like to learn the very basic skills that they’ll need at their age!

Players don’t need to have any prior knowledge, just a keen attitude and willing to learn & we’ll take care of the rest 😊💪🏽

🏐 Player Shout-out! 🏐

It was a coincidence that I met Liv! She had attended a pre-season session held on the courts and I happened to sit on the bench and watch. Little did I know that my words of encouragement on the sideline would lead to Liv being one of my 1:1 girls.

Liv has worked hard throughout our sessions to bring herself to where she is now. I’m so proud of how far Liv has come! 💪🏽

Liv has played for the following teams
- Albany YR 10A
- WCRN Maroons
- Waitakere U14/2

Check out what her dad has to say about her personal and netball development!

🏐 Are you or someone you know looking to develop or enhance your skills, both on and off the netball court? 🏐

We offer a tailored 8 week 1:1 or 1:2 program to work with players from all ability levels to help them build and improve their physical and mental skills. Ensuring that both mental and physical skills are being strengthened.

Regardless of your skill level, our coaches are firm believers of perfecting the basics. Once this has been established we then support our players in unlocking their potential.

Our sessions require players to train like “work horses”. The hands on sessions are all about our players knowing who and what they are and what they can be capable of!

If you are wanting to take your netball physical and mental skills to the next level. Head over to the link in our bio to register now! 💪🏽

Another shout out to another 1:1 player Maddie Fox.

Maddie took me on a wild ride as a coach! She was also the player who helped us create our “from the chair” programme.

helped me to use a very valuble mindset tool on Maddie!
“Meet yourself where your at. Meeting yourself where your at doesn’t mean you have to love everything about this time, but it’s accepting it for what it is”.

That’s what Maddie had to do when she had her injury. For me, I had to create small achievable goals where Maddie could be successful. She absolutely was successful in her season and we could be proud!

It shows the power of what mental and physical strengthening can do for players. I’ve been lucky enough to see it work first hand with all my 1:1 players.

This season Maddie played in
🏐 WCRN Maroons (first time club)
🏐 Westlake team 3 netball team!

You can check out her mums full review in the photos!

Looking forward to helping you achieve more goals for next year Maddie! Again I can’t thank you enough for helping me create “on the chair” for all injured players who come to me❤️

📣Player shout out📣

Megan came to me at a time when she had experienced some set backs.

She worked hard strengthening her mind and skills! She learned so much about herself and her abilities as a mid-court player!

Her goal was to make reps, she had not been successful the previous year, but was dedicated to working hard!

This season Megs played in the following teams
🏐 WCRN OC2
🏐 Hobsionville Point secondary point Premier 1 team
🏐 Waitakere U14/1
🏐 UNISS 2023- where her team finished 1st place in C grade

These experiences in her season happened because she put in the work on and off the court.

Also I’d like to acknowledge Megs as she was my first 1:1 in 2022 when we started. She helped shape the way I deliver the technical and tactical skill set for the future of any midcourt players who come through our academy!

We appreciate you more than you would know Megan and Whanau❤️

🏐1:1 Solo mentor sessions🏐

Sophia came to me having already played netball for a quite a few years. She had many amazing coaches and a good skill set on her.

Sophia came to me in January to help prepare her for club and school trials. She needed some practical mental strategies she could use both on and off the court, along with skill development. I personalised her 8 week programme to assist her in becoming a more versatile shooter. We created long & short-term goals and she trusted in the process.

Sophia worked extremely hard during our sessions and did the work in the background. Sophia you worked so hard and it paid off!

This season Sophia played in the following teams:

🏐Westlake Premier School team
🏐WCRN OC1 & Prem 2
🏐Waitakere U14/1.

We are now currently supporting Sophia with a personalised gym Strength and conditioning program. She is putting the hard yards in now, so we can work more on her technical skills in January.

Thank you Sophia for trusting me, your commitment, effort and hard-work! It’s been a journey this season but you did it!

Shout out to all the coaches that Phia has had over the season. You too have also played a valuable role in this young ladies netball.

📣 I would like to say a very big THANK YOU to all athletes who have participated in our programs. I have been so blessed, that young athletes are traveling from all over Auckland to attend our programmes. In the short space of 3 months since we have been opened, we have had a total of 159 athletes complete our programs. This number does not include the students who started 1:1 this week or those on our school-based programme.

Overall that number can be broken down to the following groups:
🏐143 Athletes completed our 4- week programme. Our year 9+ group proved to be the most popular that we ended up having a waiting list till January. WOW!
🏐10 Individual Athletes through our 8- week 1:1 program
🏐6 schools ranging from Primary level to OC- each group had a minimum of 12 and a max of 24.
🏐 We have just had an additional 2 1:1 athletes start this week!

I have never been good at remembering to take photos/videos. But that’s ok because it’s about enjoying the growth and development of players for me!

INTRODUCING NETBALL BY IVY

Hi, my name is Ivy Naera and I am a sports coach and mentor.

After many years as a junior, college and premier netball coach, I’ve decided to branch out and focus on DEVELOPMENT by starting my own academy - Netball by Ivy.

It’s always been a passion of mine to see young girls and boys become confident in themselves through sport. I have been busy developing programmes and specialist sessions which will be launching very soon, with the first programme starting tomorrow! Keep an eye on this page for more info, or check out my website at www.ivynaera.co.nz.
