There are 7 on the court at one time.

GAME LENGTH

4 x 10-minute quarters, with 2-minute breaks in between.

In 2022, there will be a 6-week preseason training programme run at Marsden leading up to trials. Click on the 'Preseason Training' tab at the top of the screen for more information.

Year 7&8 will also have a netball fun day with some of the senior netball students. This is an opportunity for the girls to come together and mix with girls that they may end up playing within the season:

This will happen on Sunday 20 March

TRIALS
Year 7 & 8 trials will be held together. Please arrive 15mins early to register and warm up.

All trials will be held in the NEW GYM.

COMPETITION

AIMS GAMES

K1 (top Year 7&8 team) will be attending AIMS Games in Tauranga at the end of the season. This has been a huge success in the past, and it is a great experience for the girls.

More information on AIMS Games can be found here.
