What Are NQNA Clinics?
NQNA Clinics are one-off development opportunities designed to provide focused coaching in a group environment. Unlike our ongoing academy programs, clinics allow athletes to attend a single session, development day, or specialist event without committing to a full-term program.
Each clinic is carefully designed to provide practical learning, high levels of engagement, and coaching that athletes can immediately transfer into training and competition.
Who Are Clinics For?
NQNA Clinics are suitable for:
- Foundation Athletes
- Junior Development Athletes
- Senior Development Athletes
- Representative Players
- Performance Athletes
- High Performance Athletes
Sessions are typically grouped by age and ability to ensure athletes are appropriately challenged and supported throughout the experience.
