Here is some information about the netball season ahead:-

The Netball season for children in Years 1-6 begins on Saturday 12 June. There will be 5 games at the end of Term 2 and 5 games at the beginning of Term 3. Due to the upgrading of the Taieri College netball courts, games will be spread over 3 Taieri Schools this year.

Year 1 players will be completing skills sessions between 9.30am and 10.15am at Taieri College Gym.

Year 2 players will be playing a 5 aside game, using lower hoops and two thirds of a netball court. Games will be in the Taieri College gym between 11.00 am - 12.30 pm.

Year 3 and 4 players will play a 6 aside game at St Mary’s School. Games will be played between 9.20am- 12.30pm. Year 5 and 6 players will play 7 aside games, also at St Mary’s School between 12.30-3.30pm.

Each school will be given a duty time each week as there are not enough Committee Members available on Saturdays to cover all the games and locations.
