"I have accomplished being more confident in myself because of the Specialist Netball Program."

"As a result of the Specialist Netball Program, I was selected to represent RDNA at the Netball WA Association Championships this year. I am really looking forward to playing other athletes from all over Western Australia."

"I enjoy learning new skills every time I go to a lesson or training session. The Specialist Netball Program also helped me to understand what it means to play as a team."

"By participating in the netball program, I have learned a lot about the theory side of netball such as the effects of physical activity on our body. I have also completed my Foundation Umpiring Course.”

Netball WA Endorsement

Living Waters Lutheran College is proud to announce that we are Tier 1 Netball endorsed schools in WA.

The objective of Netball WA’s Specialist Netball School Endorsement Program is to outline minimum standards relevant to the current athlete, coach, umpire and official pathways.
