Notes

The active rest training phase is a time that players should use as a break from the physical demands of netball. This will give the body's muscles, joints and supporting structures a chance form the wear and tear that can occur throughout a netball season.

This period of rest and recuperation also provides an opportunity to focus on injury rehabilitation if the player is suffering from any injuries.
