More about Netball Development Trust
NDT uses netball to improve the fitness and wellbeing of children in Africa & India via the implementation and development of netball in primary schools that do not have the facilities or access to simple things like balls and bibs.
NDT uses netball as a tool to build character, leadership, physical strength and instill a sense of team spirit and solidarity in children and youth of all ages. We aim to teach young people to play as a team and share responsibilities, to plan and act as an effective unit and to be courageous and try their best to achieve the highest levels with their skills and abilities. Amongst other positives that sports provides - it teaches us to focus and utilise our resources gainfully and achieve our desired ambitions via fair play.
We aim to use Netball to help young people become more complete individuals, to make a difference to their world rather than the whole world and bring a smile to young people who are often too easily forgotten. Our programme also exposes the volunteers to the different cultures and lives of the locals we work with, which they describe as a unique and unforgettable experience.
