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.

Fees will remain about the same as last year - Year 1, $15 and Years 2-6 $35. This includes payment to the Taieri Plain Junior Netball Committee, playing skirts, team balls, team bibs for Saturdays.

It runs on Friday afternoons from 4pm-6pm depending upon the grade at Logan Park.

The league works by linking schools with their local clubs. If your girl is interested, please follow the link below and fill out the expression of interest form. From there, we pass on this information to your closest club and the club then contacts the individual.

Sports Equipment for School

If you have any unused sports equipment that is still in good condition at your place, we would love to have some more for our lunchtime use. Tennis Rackets are a popular choice at the moment as are basketballs and tennis balls. If you would like to donate some unused gear to our sports shed lunchtime supply, we would love to hear from you. Please let Jolene Casey know or bring it into school to see if it is suitable. Many thanks.
