Not just back on court - actually ready. A 12-week, netball-specific rehab program that rebuilds ankle strength, stability, and confidence after sprains so you stop protecting it and start trusting it. Ankle sprains don’t just “heal,” they adapt. And without the right rehab, they adapt poorly. The swelling goes down. The pain eases. You start walking normally. So you go back to training. And then it happens again. Most ankle rehab stops the moment you feel okay. But "feeling okay" and "being ready for netball" are completely different things. Netball demands repeated landings, hard sprints, direction changes under fatigue. An ankle that can absorb those forces isn't built by rest alone. Ankle Armour bridges that gap - with a progressive, structured program that prepares your ankle for what netball actually demands of it. Not just recovery. Return to performance. This program has four jobs. Restore strength, mobility, and control - from the early stages through to full training load Rebuild trust in your ankle - so you stop bracing for impact and start moving freely again Reduce the risk of repeat sprains - by training the ankle under the forces that actually cause re-injury Progress you safely from rehab → training → match play - with clear weekly milestones so you always know where you're at Who it's for : Netballers returning from medial, lateral, or high ankle sprains - this program covers all three Players who feel "mostly fine" but don't fully trust their ankle - that hesitation is a sign rehab isn't done Anyone with repeat ankle injuries - this breaks the cycle by addressing capacity, not just pain Netballers who want a structured plan - not some 'ice it and take it easy' advice Suitable for all levels - grassroots to representative. Home and gym variations included throughout so equipment is never the barrier. Most rehab stops too early. Pain settles - but capacity hasn't returned. The ankle feels okay in a straight line, but the first hard cut in a game tells a different story. Ankle Armour is built on one principle: the ankle needs to be trained under the specific demands it'll face on court - not just rested until it stops hurting. That means progressive loading, netball movement patterns, and strength work that builds the stiffness and control needed for repeated landings and direction changes under fatigue. An ankle that can absorb force won't let you down. This is how you build one. Important: This program is designed for players who are cleared to begin rehabilitation. Always check in with your physio or health professional before starting.
