Trainings
Up to 2 hour duration -
Sundays 9.30am-11.30am &
​​​​​​​Tuesdays between 6pm-8pm held at Ākau Tangi Sports Centre. 
Date and times of trainings may be subject to change.​​​​​​​

To be eligible for this team you must:

  • be 18 years or older at 1 January 2023
  • be currently registered, fully financial (all fees paid in full) and actively playing for a current school or club affiliated to the 2023 Netball Wellington Centre Winter Competition played on Saturdays at Ākau Tangi Sports Centre.​​​​​​​

Commitment is crucial - occasional absences advised in advance may be worked around yet the more the full team can train and plays together, the better.

Where a Centre decide not to select their own Open team, players are free to choose to trial for an alternative Centre.  We ask that the affiliated Centre gets in touch to confirm/advise if not intending to select their own team.
