The 2024 Winter Season will take place from 11 May to 22 June and 27 July to 7 September, spanning 13 weeks. Please note there will be no netball on 1 June (King’s Birthday Weekend) and 29 June (Matariki Weekend).
All games are played on Saturdays at Pinehurst School, Bush Road, Albany, from 8:45am until mid-afternoon, according to a weekly draw. The time of the final game will depend on the number of teams.
Rounds for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 6 Teams:
Game times are assigned randomly. Players must be available throughout the day, as no dispensation can be given for other sports or activities. Game times may be adjusted based on the number of teams.
Rounds for Year 3, Year 4, and Year 5 Teams:
Games for Year 3 will start at 8:45am and continue throughout the day until about 2:00pm. Younger players will play in earlier rounds, with Year 5s scheduled for later.
Players must be available to play during these times, with no exceptions for other commitments. Game times may be adjusted as necessary.
