NetballSmart is Netball New Zealand’s official injury‑prevention and performance programme, designed to help every player enjoy the game safely and play at their best.

It’s an evidence‑based framework built around six core principles that support players to prepare well, move well, train smart, and stay healthy on and off the court.

These principles include Smart Preparation, Dynamic Warm‑Up/Cool‑Down and Recovery, Smart Movement, Smart Training, Smart Player Wellbeing/Welfare, and Smart Injury Management.

Together, they provide a holistic approach to performance and injury prevention—helping players, coaches, and communities build strong foundations, develop good habits, and create safer netball environments nationwide
