A little bit more behind the Junior Netball initiative

Junior Netball in New Zealand is changing and to support the rollout of the new Year 1-4 programme in 2014, a promotional video has been produced to highlight the exciting new initiative.

Former Silver Fern captain Bernice Mene features as a coach and mother alongside four youngsters who steal the show, interacting alongside current Silver Ferns, defender Katrina Grant and shooter Maria Tutaia.

The idea behind the video is to engage the wider Netball community with a consistent message about why Junior Netball is changing and what the changes are. The clip is available to be viewed via the NNZ YouTube channel and NNZ, Zone and Centre websites.

Waikanae School Netball Fees

As indicated in newsletter one, Netball Kapiti have increased their fees over the years and has done so again this year from the pressures of Netball New Zealand and inflated running costs of the pavilion and courts etc.  Waikanae School has kept the same fees for many years and we cannot sustain this any more.  Please note that our 'no pay, no play' policy has been enforced since 2013 and even though full payment is not required immediately, we need to see that deposits are being made to cover school activity fees and netball fees.

Junior Netball (Year 1 & 2) = $30 no bond as there is no uniform

Future Fern Netball (Year 3 & 4) = $70 + $10 refundable uniform bond

Primary School Netball (Year 5-8) = $80 +$10 refundable uniform bond

Spread this over the course of an approximate 17 week season (Shorter for Future Ferns) plus all the coaching sessions the children receive, it is still a reasonable price.

Trials this week....

NETBALL TRIALS THIS WEEK

Please wear correct gear otherwise you will not take the court

Proper shoes/no jewellery/nails trimmed/hair tied up

TUESDAY lunchtime - Year 5 and 6

THURSDAY lunchtime - Year 7 and 8

FRIDAY lunchtime - Call backs

There are NO trials for Year 3 and 4 children as they play future ferns

Please note that team selections are a tricky job and I do my best in making sure each child is placed in the best team to further their netball. I would like to thank the 2013 coaches for their input into the 2014 season.

Thank you to the following people who have indicated they can help with a netball team in some way this year. Once teams are sorted, we can make sure all roles are filled.
