Our Premier 1 competition contributes to the ANZ Championship teams and Wellington NPC team. It is a high standard of competition.

Our top College teams play in Premier and Premier Reserve.
Our senior grades, particularly senior 2 and 3 are more focused on the social player but still in a club environment. Senior 1 is more competitive but contains a number of social teams.

If you are leaving School….
…. And you want to play in a good standard of competition in Wellington you need to look for a club which has Premier level teams, it is good to trial at a club which has a range of Premier teams so that you get a feel for where you belong. Contact the club and don’t be afraid to ask questions about coaches, club activities or any of the things that are important to you. It is important to find a club where you will feel comfortable and where you can play at the level that will help you develop your play.

… And you want to play for fun and exercise you should look for a club which offers more social teams in senior grades.
