Athlete Loading

There can be substantial demands placed on you as a young athlete, such as, netball, other sports, academic commitments, spending time with friends and family.

Doing too much or too little can have a negative impact on your individual development, enjoyment and longevity in the sport. As a youth athlete it is important to gradually build physical and sport specific load over time. It is important to consider all elements of load when planning your week.

These are guidelines, not rules because there isn’t a one-size fits all approach. How your week is structured can be influenced by several factors specific to you. For example:
  • Training age
  • Physical capabilities (eg. strength, fitness)
  • Injury history
  • Playing level
