🏐 SCHOOL HOLIDAYS = NETBALL TIME! 💥

The season might have wrapped up, but your development doesn’t have to.

This school holidays, NQNA is hitting the road with 9 clinic days across North Queensland — from Townsville all the way to Mount Isa!

Whether you’re learning the game, building your skills or ready to push your performance, there’s a session for you:

🔵 Foundation | Ages 7–10
🟢 Junior Development | Ages 10–13
🟣 Senior Development / Performance | Ages 13+

Every clinic is 75 minutes, coached by Jillian and just $25.

📍 Townsville | Burdekin | Bowen | Whitsundays | Sarina | Ingham | Charters Towers | Cloncurry | Mount Isa

And you don’t need to be an existing NQNA athlete to join us. Bring a friend, bring a teammate or come on your own — everyone is welcome.

The off-season is one of the BEST times to train: try new things, make technical changes, build confidence and get a head start on 2027.

🔥 9 LOCATIONS. 3 LEVELS. $25. LET’S TRAIN.

Spots are limited, so don’t leave it until the holidays!

🏐 CLONCURRY — WE’RE HEADING WEST! 💥
NQNA is back in Cloncurry these school holidays — and this time Jillian is making the trip west to get on court with you!

Higher intensity, greater challenge and a chance to really work on the skills that can take your game forward.

🏐 SARINA — NQNA IS COMING BACK THESE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS! 💥

We’ve loved the opportunities we’ve had to work with the Sarina netball community this year, and we’re excited to be heading back for one big School Holiday Clinic day on Friday 25 September!

We know you are lucky enough to have the Firebirds visiting Wednesday - so lets make it a week of great netball opportunities!

This time, Jillian will be on court coaching all three sessions, and we’d love to see plenty of familiar faces — as well as a whole lot of athletes who haven’t trained with NQNA before.

🔥 FRIDAY 25 SEPTEMBER — SARINA SHOWGROUNDS
🔵 9.00–10.15am — Foundation
Building confidence, strong fundamentals and a love for the game.

🟢 10.30–11.45am — Junior Development
Developing skills, movement, decision-making and game sense.

🟣 12.00–1.15pm — Senior Development / Performance
A faster, more challenging session for athletes wanting to refine their skills and push their performance.

💰 Just $25 per clinic

The off-season is actually one of the BEST times to train. Without the pressure of preparing for the next weekend’s game, we can spend time developing technique, trying new things, fixing those little habits and building confidence ahead of 2027 trials and the new season.

And our clinics aren’t just for representative or experienced players. NQNA welcomes athletes at different stages of their netball journey. The whole idea is to meet you where you’re at, challenge you appropriately and help you leave the court a little better than when you arrived.

We also want to continue complementing the fantastic work already happening in Sarina — more opportunities, more quality coaching and more time with a netball in hand. 💙

Bring your teammates. Bring a friend. Come train, learn, challenge yourself and have some fun with us.

🏐 BOWEN — LET’S KEEP TRAINING! 💥

We’ve loved having NQNA running weekly in Bowen, and we’re not slowing down now! We’re kicking off the school holidays with a full morning of clinics before returning for another 9 weeks of regular squads in Term 4.

And this is the perfect time to get to work.

🔥 SCHOOL HOLIDAY CLINICS — WEDNESDAY 23 SEPTEMBER
🔵 9.00am — Foundation
Building confidence, strong fundamentals and a love of netball.
🟢 10.30am — Junior Development
Developing skills, movement, game sense and decision-making.
🟣 12.00 noon — Senior Development / Performance
Higher intensity, greater challenge and the opportunity to refine the skills that will take your game forward.

💰 Just $25 per clinic
📍 Bowen Netball Courts
🏐 All sessions coached by Jillian

These clinics are open to EVERYONE. You don’t need to currently train with NQNA, so we’d love our existing Bowen athletes to bring a friend or teammate along and introduce them to what we do. 💙

And once the holidays are over, we’re straight back into Term 4 squads!

⭐ THURSDAYS FROM 8 OCTOBER
🔵 Foundation | 3.30–4.30pm
🟢 Development | 4.30–5.30pm
🟣 Performance | 5.30–7.00pm

Term 4 is one of our favourite times to train. Competition pressure is gone, which gives us the freedom to pull skills apart, make technical changes, try new things and build them back up properly before the 2027 season arrives.

For athletes with rep trials and bigger goals ahead, this is valuable preparation. For athletes who simply love their netball and want to keep improving, it’s a chance to keep a ball in their hands, build confidence and have fun with their friends.

We also want NQNA to continue complementing the fantastic work already happening within the Bowen netball community — providing another opportunity for local athletes to access consistent, quality coaching without having to travel away from home.

So Bowen, don’t put the netball away just yet!

Bring a friend. Get on court. Let’s make Term 4 count. 🏐⚡

🏐 MOUNT ISA — NQNA IS HEADING WEST THIS HOLIDAYS! 💥
We’re finishing our huge North Queensland School Holiday Clinic road trip in Mount Isa, and this one is a little bit special — because Jillian is making the trip west to coach it herself!

On Friday 2 October, we’ll be running three clinics for Mount Isa netballers, from our younger developing athletes right through to senior and performance players.

If you’ve been thinking about training with NQNA, this is the session to come along and give it a go. And if you’re already part of our Mount Isa crew, grab a teammate or friend and bring them with you!

🔥 SCHOOL HOLIDAY CLINICS — FRIDAY 2 OCTOBER
🔵 9.00am — Foundation
🟢 10.30am — Junior Development
🟣 12.00 noon — Senior Development / Performance

💰 Just $25 per clinic
🏐 All three sessions coached by Jillian
📍 Mount Isa — venue to be confirmed

One of the reasons NQNA has expanded into regional North Queensland is because where you live shouldn’t limit your opportunity to access quality coaching and keep developing your game.

We know there are talented, enthusiastic netballers in the west — and we want to work with you. 💙

The off-season is also the perfect time to train. Without the pressure of preparing for the next game, we can work on technique, experiment with new skills, build confidence and start preparing for whatever goals you’ve set for 2027.

⭐ AND WE’RE BACK EVERY WEEK IN TERM 4!
Our Mount Isa weekly squads return from Saturday 10 October:
🔵 Foundation | 2.00–3.00pm
🟢 Development | 3.00–4.00pm
📅 9 weeks | $250 for the term

But first, let’s PACK THESE HOLIDAY CLINICS!

Mount Isa, Jillian is coming a long way to get there — so let’s make the most of having her in town. Bring your friends, bring your teammates and come spend some quality time on court. 🏐🙌

🏐 WHITSUNDAYS — WE’RE BACK THESE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS! 🌴💥

NQNA is heading back to the Whitsundays, and we’d love to see a BIG crew on court as we kick off our Term 4 training!

First up, Jillian will be at the Whitsunday Courts, Jubilee Pocket on Thursday 24 September for three School Holiday Clinics — open to both existing NQNA athletes and anyone keen to come and train with us for the first time.

🔥 SCHOOL HOLIDAY CLINICS — THURSDAY 24 SEPTEMBER
🔵 9.00am — Foundation
Building confidence, fundamentals and a love for the game.
🟢 10.30am — Junior Development
Developing skills, movement, game sense and court awareness.
🟣 12.00 noon — Senior Development / Performance
A faster, more challenging session focused on refining skills and pushing performance.

💰 Only $25 per clinic
📍 Whitsunday Courts, Jubilee Pocket
🏐 Coached by Jillian

The off-season is one of the BEST times to work on your game. There’s no pressure of preparing for the weekend’s match, which means we can experiment, make technical changes, build new skills and start laying the foundations for 2027.

And we’d really love to see some new faces! If you’ve trained with us before, bring a friend or teammate along. If you’ve never been to NQNA, the holiday clinic is the perfect chance to give it a go. 💙

⭐ AND WE’RE STAYING FOR TERM 4!
Our Whitsunday Development Squad commences Friday 9 October, with a 6.30–7.30am session each Friday at St Catherine’s Catholic College, Proserpine (or Jubilee pocket if the majority of registrants prefer).

Yes, it’s early. 😴
But there’s something pretty great about getting an hour of quality netball training done before the school day even begins! 💪🏐

Our aim is to complement the fantastic netball already happening across the Whitsunday region and provide another consistent opportunity for local athletes to train, progress and belong.

So Whitsundays — finish the season, enjoy the break… but don’t put the netball away just yet!

🏐 BURDEKIN — LET’S KEEP THE NETBALL GOING! 💥
The season might be over, but this is where some of the best development can happen.

NQNA is back in Ayr these school holidays and throughout Term 4, and we’d love to see our Burdekin athletes on court — and bring a friend with you! 💙

We’re kicking things off with our School Holiday Clinics on Tuesday 22 September at Burdekin Catholic High School.

🔥 SCHOOL HOLIDAY CLINICS
🔵 9.00am — Foundation
🟢 10.30am — Junior Development
🟣 12.00 noon — Senior Development / Performance

💰 Just $25 per clinic
📍 Burdekin Catholic High School
🏐 All sessions coached by Jillian

Our clinics are open to everyone — you don’t need to already train with NQNA. So if you have a teammate or friend who has been thinking about giving NQNA a try, this is the perfect opportunity to bring them along!

We want athletes to train hard, learn new things, challenge themselves and have fun doing it.

And the off-season is the perfect time.

Without the pressure of preparing for the weekend’s game, we can slow things down when we need to, make technical changes, try new skills and then build the speed and intensity back up. For athletes with 2027 rep trials and goals ahead, the work you do now matters.

⭐ THEN KEEP TRAINING WITH US IN TERM 4!

Our regular Friday squads return from 9 October:
🔵 Foundation | 4.00–5.00pm
🟢 Development | 5.00–6.00pm
🟣 Performance | 6.00–7.30pm

We’ve loved being part of the Burdekin netball community, and we want Term 4 to be about continuing to build on that — complementing the great work already happening locally and giving athletes another opportunity to grow.

So Burdekin… grab a friend, grab your netball and come train with us! 🏐⚡

So amazing to see the community having opportunities!

🏐 Young netballers in Cloncurry are getting more opportunities to develop their skills closer to home, with around 40 players taking part in weekly North Queensland Netball Academy sessions.

Cloncurry does not have a regular junior netball competition, meaning local players often have to travel to Mount Isa if they want to play.

✨ North Queensland Netball Academy founder and head coach Jillian Joyce said the response in Cloncurry had been strong.

“The uptake in our clinics and squads is unbelievable,” Ms Joyce said.

She said the lack of a local competition could make it difficult for young players to get regular game time.

“Cloncurry doesn't have a regular junior competition and athletes are required to travel to Mount Isa if they want to play,” she said.

“And that's not really something that's feasible for some of the members of the community there.”

💪 Ms Joyce said having weekly coaching available locally was helping young players develop without having to make that trip.

“The access to this on a week in, week out basis closes the gap,” she said.
