How does our Winter Competition work?
​​​​​​​
We offer a number of playing options from hardcore (Premier grade) to those who seek not-so-serious competitive action (Prem Reserve grade) to lower competitive (Senior grade). 
​​​​​​​Premier/Prem Reserve/Senior competition runs 16 weeks played on Saturdays April to August. Collegiate competition runs 13 weeks played on Saturdays May to August.

Premier 1-3 grades are the top highly competitive level of our competition. Premier grades comprise top club and college teams and feed up into ANZ Premiership teams, National Netball League and representative teams. Games are 1 hour duration played indoors at Ākau Tangi Sports Centre. Nearly every team trains.

Prem Reserve 1-5 grades are the next tier down yet still very competitive featuring a range of club and college teams. Collegiate 1 and Senior 1 grades compete for promotion into this grade. Games are 40 minutes duration played indoors at Ākau Tangi Sports Centre. Most teams train.

Senior grades sit under Prem Reserve and remain competitive. Lower senior grades tend to be more social. Games are 40 minutes duration played indoors at Ākau Tangi Sports Centre. Some teams train, others do not depending on which club you choose.

Collegiate grades do not play against adult teams. Games are 40 minutes duration. Grades 1-3 play indoors at Ākau Tangi Sports Centre. Grades 4-6 play outdoors at Hataitai Netball Courts. Many teams train.

Junior Collegiate grades play only Year 9 & 10 players. Games are 40 minutes duration played outdoors at Hataitai Netball Courts.  Many teams train.


What social netball league options do we offer?
We run a range of leagues - indoor & outdoor - offering social and competitive play.

Twilight League caters to Adults. Womens & mixed grades play Monday/Wednesday/Thursday in Term 1 & 4 and only Wednesday/Thursday in Term 2 & 3.

If playing isn't your thing, there are other great avenues to explore...​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Try coaching...
connect with a team as a lead, assistant or apprentice coach and attend online or in-person development opportunities to help find your feet.


Try managing...
if you're organised and timely by nature, your skillset will be sought after in any team as good managers contribute greatly to team cohesion


Try umpiring...
progress along our umpire pathway, gain practical experience allocated to winter competition games or earn extra pocket money umpiring our social leagues.


Try bench/technical officiating...
put your analytical, methodical or mathmatical skills to good use on the score bench!


Try coach developing...
if you're passionate about supporting coaches & positively impacting a love for netball you may not realise it but you are effectively a coach developer!
