Year 1
Children play a non-competitive league 6-a-side version of netball. They have two centres, two attackers and two defenders (bibs are provided). They play with size 4 netball, 1.8m (6ft) goals on a ¾-size court. If providing your own umpire for this age group they must be an adult willing to work with their mentors.

Year 2
Play with size 4 netball, 2.3m (7ft 6in) goals on a full size court. Children play in the traditional positions of netball but the main emphasis is on the understanding of passing of the ball down the court towards their goal and then shooting a goal. Games are 2 x 15min halves with a 2min break at half time.
Year 3
Play with size 4 netball, 2.6m goals on a full size court. The players quickly develop their skill and understanding of netball.
Year 4-6
Netball Trials
Students will be trialled at school during lunchtime for Year 4,5 & 6 – Dates to be confirmed. Please note that a registration form must be completed and payment must be made before the trial dates. Please also ensure your child has the correct shoes to trial in and that long hair is secured back. No player will be considered for top team selection unless they trial. Please refer to Sports Handbook for top team selection process.
Trialing can be an exciting and/or stressful experience for children and parents, especially for those who are anxious to improve their skills or worrying for those who find themselves in a different team, not with their friends. The reason for it is to help enable those with like abilities to play together, but also open the door for new players. A representative from Netball North harbour will conduct our trials and we do our very best to ensure team selection is as fair as possible.
Please have a discussion with your child before the trials and assure them that whatever team they find themselves in, they will still have every opportunity to improve both individual skills and team spirit.
Once the trials are complete, teams will be formed based on the abilities during the selection process and parents informed. All trials are final and are not up for negotiation.
