Junior Netball Programme for Years 1 & 2

I attended a primary delegates meeting where we have been informed of a new programme being implemented within netball kapiti.

This will take you to the Netball Central Zone website and if you click on Community Netball and scroll down to Junior Netball, you can read up about the reasons behind the programme and the changes that will unfold thoughout 2014.

I would like to see Waikanae School provide this opportunity for our younger students.

I will be notifying everyone as soon as I have more information as numbers may be capped from each school.  I can however inform you that:
* It will take place at Te Atiawa Courts (where we play Saturday netball)
* Structure will be a 20 minute skill session followed by 20 minute game
* Uses only 1/3 of the court
* Begins with only 4 players and builds as the children grow with the game
* No uniforms
* 4-5pm
* Parents can learn and develop their netball knowledge with their child/ren
*No experience needed
* Small netball provided for each team (6-7 children)
* At least 1 parent helper per team

What we do know is that eventually this programme will develop and ultimately phase out the future ferns.  (No more rotations - Hooray!!)
