Yes, but under the Netball Scotland Coach Framework, a responsible adult must be present whenever a coach under 18 is working. That adult is responsible for both the young coach and the participants.
Separately, Netball Scotland's ratio guidance says every session should be planned with at least two session leaders aged 18 or over.
