ST JOHNS YEAR 1-8

ST JOHNS 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.

Venue: 7 Allison Ferguson Drive, St Johns

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.
