FUTURE FERNS YEAR 1 & 2

This level introduces Netball to 5 to 6 year olds. The aim  is to develop fundamental movement and ball skills.  The 20–minute game that follows the initial skill session is played on one third of a full–size court, by teams of four, with the emphasis on equal participation. Modified equipment is used.

FUTURE FERNS YEAR 3 & 4

The focus for this age group is to develop further skills, while still playing on a reduced court size with modified equipment. The format promotes lots of scoring, lots of touches on the ball and fun for all participants. With five players in each team and rotating positions, this ensures everyone has an equal chance to develop.

FUTURE FERNS YEAR 5 & 6

Netball continues to be modified for players of this age. The focus is on learning and continued development of fundamental movement and basic Netball skills. The  6v6 game is fast and provides players with lots of touches on the ball to enhance skill development, engagement  and enjoyment.
