SATURDAY  WINDMILL PARK - MT EDEN YEAR 1 - 8  

SATURDAY WINDMILL PARK - MT EDEN YEAR 1-8 

Junior Netball is divided into four key stages of development, from the youngest children in Year 1 right through to Year 8. The modified game transforms and becomes more challenging as the players get older and continue to develop their Netball skills. Team registrations are available through your local school, and we also offer individual registrations for our skills clinic run on a Saturday for those children who cannot play netball through their school. 

Venue: Windmill Park, 48 Windmill Road, Mt Eden

Auckland Netball competitions are venue-based competitions. All competition games are to be held at Auckland Netball (St Johns and Windmill Park venues), and requests for specific game times or deferred games will not be accepted. However, Auckland Netball reserve the right to alter game schedules where deemed necessary.
