Years 5 & 6: futureFERNs

Northland School teams play every Saturday in the Wellington West Netball (WWN) competition. 

In 2018, Wellington West Netball adopted the futureFERNS programme for these age groups which is Netball New Zealand’s official junior netball programme. To ignite a lifelong involvement in netball, a sequential programme has been developed that is at the right level for the players at each stage. The 6 v 6 game is fast and provides players with lots of touches on the ball to enhance skill development and enjoyment. With only three positions (Attack, Defence, Centre) on 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.
