YEAR 5 and 6 PROGRAMME

Register for Y5/6 Netball here ​​​​​​​​

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 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 and to provide them with equal opportunities.

For more information see Year 5 and 6 Programme Overview

Year 5/6 netball is played generally on Saturday mornings, but can be later in the day, at the Selwyn Netball Centre in Lincoln.

We are always looking for coaches, managers and umpires so please get in touch if you are interested; [email protected]
