	This placement would suit... Netball players with a love of travel! If netball is your passion then there simply cannot be a better place to play it than Australasia. Netball is undoubtedly the most popular women’s sport Down Under; Australia alone boasts a national membership scheme with over 35,000 members. The national netball teams of Australia and New Zealand have dominated the top two positions in the world rankings over the past few years and with such prestigious positions repeatedly being maintained, it is obvious that they are doing something right Down Under! Sport Lived can arrange for you to play netball in seven superb southern hemisphere cities. In Australia you have the choice of Sydney, Perth, Melbourne or Brisbane and in New Zealand you have the choice of Christchurch, Auckland or Wellington. In each city we have handpicked the best netball clubs which offer excellent coaching and facilities. All of the clubs have lots of teams and arrange an array of great social events throughout the season which are not to be missed! Our programmes cater for netballers of all ability. Whether you have aspirations of playing professionally or just want to play for fun, we can organise a club which matches your ability and commitment to training. Apart from the opportunity to spend your gap year abroad playing your favourite sport, the experience of living in a new country also provides you with the opportunity of exploring a new culture, new scenery and landscapes that will take your breath away. A key element of the Sport Lived experience is the opportunity to live alongside other sport enthusiasts who are undertaking our programmes. We offer fully furnished apartments and houses that are in central locations, close to both the city and clubs. They will be shared with other participants, ensuring you have lots of friends with whom you can explore your new environment. Most bills are included in the price, so you need not worry about budgeting for any unexpected costs. Besides the social experience of taking a trip organised by Sport Lived, it is undoubtedly an experience that will enrich your CV. Playing sport, whether competitively or simply socially, is a pastime that reflects very well on your capabilities in the workplace. Participating in netball undeniably teaches you discipline, helps you develop your communication skills and ultimately trains you to work well in a team environment. The nature of the programme offers you a highly independent experience of living abroad, enabling you to acquire important life skills that will help to set you apart from the crowd when applying for jobs or a place at university. So if you want a gap year to remember and wish to spend 6 months playing the sport you love whilst having the time of your life in sun-filled surroundings, then join Sport Lived in Australia or New Zealand and return with unique tales to tell of your experiences Down Under! 0845 344 7601 Sport Lived provides young people with the opportunity to play and coach sport in Australia and New Zealand.
