Welcome to  St Teresa's Netball

St Teresa’s Netball club is run by volunteer parents of St Teresa’s school. We are part of Wellington West Netball (WWN) that runs a winter netball competition for the  primary schools in our area and is played on the Netball Courts at Altura Academy in Wilton.


With the guidance of WWN and using the Future Ferns Framework, we offer the following program to our netballers:

Year 1& 2: The aim is to develop fundamental movement and ball skills. There are weekly skills sessions during Term 2 & 3 followed by a fun festival, played over 2 saturdays in August. A modified 4 v 4 is played on one full third of a full sized court with the emphasis on equal participation. 

Years 3-4: The focus for this age group is learning basic skills in a modified game of 5 v 5. Played in Term 2 & 3, there is a weekly training session and saturday afternoon game. 

Years 5-6:  Play 7 a side (new for 2026). 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. Played in Term 2 & 3, there is a weekly training session and a saturday game. 

Years 7-8:  Play 7 a side. Players have now developed a considerable understanding of the game. The broad emphasis goes on to skill improvement as well as participation and fun. Performance, challenge and playing are keys for this age group. Ensuring positional rotation and playing at least half a game will give each player the opportunity to participate and develop. There is a weekly training session and a saturday morning game.


We generally have a team per year group.
