A Warm-up to Prevent Knee Injuries in Netball

Netball Australia has developed a great program to help prevent knee and other lower limb injuries in netball.

Knee and ankle injuries are common in netball, making up three quarters of all injuries. Devastating ACL injuries are unfortunately common, making up 25% of serious injuries.

The KNEE program offers a range of warm-up exercises that help prevent injury.  There are a range of age and experience appropriate exercises for junior through to elite netballers.  They are easily understood by players and coaches, with a number of options offering variability and progression.

It would be great to see this program widely adopted by Australia's largest participation sport for females.
