Brooklyn School (Wellington)

Game Information Summary

All teams required the support of a coach, a manager, a scorer and an umpire.  The coach, manager and scorer are all parent volunteer positions.  Umpires must have undertaken appropriate training and be accredited by MK.  Brooklyn School has access to an outstanding pool of former pupils who meet this criteria.  They each receive a kohu of $10 per game they umpire.  This is paid by the teams on the day.


Year 5 & 6 Programme

This modified game is part of the ANZ futureFerns programme and introduces the tactical side of netball while still providing ample opportunities for players to develop their fundamental netball skills at all positions in a fun non-competitive environment.

The 6v6 game is fast and provides players with lots of touches on the ball to enhance skill development and enjoyment.  With only three positions on each team, but still played on a full size court it means the game is less complicated for children and easier for coaches to ensure the players learn the skills relevant to all positions and to provide them with equal opportunities.  Players rotate to prevent early specialisation in positions.  The emphasis is on all players getting plenty of touches of the ball and the opportunity to develop a broad skill set.

Year 7 & 8 Programme

Year 7 & 8 players play 7 aside netball with standard netball rules (except where modified by the MK Netball Handbook).
