2026 Kidzplay Pinehurst Netball
Years 1-6
Netball at Pinehurst is an open Netball league for Year 1 - 6 players with games played on a Saturday, anytime from 8.45 am until mid-afternoon. Times will change each week and we can not tell you what time they will play.
The 2026 Winter League will start in Term 2 and run through Term 3 - 9th May to 27th June and 25th July to 29th Aug, excluding school holidays and long weekends (Please note there will be no Netball on King’s Birthday Weekend)
This league offers Netball variants to suit each year level. Year 1 children play a non-competitive league 6-a-side version of Netball and Year 2 upwards play 7-a-side netball with a variance to rules that ensure the players grow into the full game as they mature. Netball is traditionally a female game; however, teams can have 1 or 2 boys in them only.
In 2026 we are hoping to have a Netball uniform for all players. This will cost $20 to hire for the Winter season.
General Guidelines
All teams playing netball MUST rotate positions each week. This is to ensure that all players have the opportunity to learn all the positions that make up netball.
Each team is to supply an umpire. Two umpires control the game in the Netball NZ format of umpiring half a court. The level of calls against the players is dependent on the level of the players. Teams can opt to pay for an umpire each week for $15 a game if one can’t be found for the team – this is an additional cost sorted by managers and paid directly to umpires each week.
Players are not allowed on the court wearing watches, earrings ( do not get them newly pierced during the netball season) or jewellery.
All players, coaches and supporters are expected to follow the Browns Bay School sports code of conduct found on our school website.
The Junior Netball League is a learning experience for players, coaches and umpires.
As with any sport our children choose to participate in we need the assistance of parents/caregivers, older brothers/sisters to coach/manage and umpire our future champions. Pinehurst offers a safe friendly atmosphere in which to try these skills, and we would appreciate your help. Both Pinehurst and Netball North Harbour offer free coaching and umpiring classes. Teams must have a coach and a manager to be registered.
The fee for Kidzplay Netball is $70 per player (which covers the fees to Kidzplay for both terms and the upkeep of Netball gear & equipment and then $20 per player to hire the uniform.
