Silver Fern 1kg Weighted Pass Trainer Netball
The Silver Fern 1kg weighted pass trainer netball is a training ball designed to build passing strength and technique. It’s suited to netball players from intermediate through to senior level who want to improve accuracy and ball speed. Use it in training sessions on court, whether you’re working solo, with a partner, or in team drills.
Build Stronger, More Accurate Passing
At approximately 1 kg, this ball is around twice the weight of a standard size 5 netball. That added weight forces better hand positioning and follow through, helping players develop stronger wrists and cleaner release.
In real game situations, that translates to sharper, more controlled passes under pressure. When you switch back to a standard match ball, the difference in speed and control is noticeable, especially through mid court and attacking feeds.
Designed for Skill Development
The ball is made to World Netball size 5 dimensions, so it feels familiar in hand despite the extra weight. This is important for maintaining correct technique while building strength.
Best used on indoor or outdoor netball courts during structured training. It’s not for match play, but it’s a useful tool for pre season work or targeted passing drills throughout the year.
How to Use It
Use in short sets to avoid fatigue affecting technique. Works well for:
Stationary passing drills focusing on form
Partner work to build speed and consistency
Rebound training when paired with a netball rebounder
Team drills where quick ball movement is key
