Next-Gen Netball Programme:

Nau Mai Haere Mai to our Next Gen Programme. Next-Gen is designed for driven Year 7 and Year 8 players who are ready to take the next step in their netball journey. This development opportunity focuses on building strong technical skills, advanced game understanding, and the confidence to perform at a higher level, all under the guidance of experienced coaches. A Trial will be held before training begins, giving players a chance to get on court, meet the coaches, and be placed in the right training environment. If you’re passionate about netball, eager to improve, and aiming for future representative opportunities, the Next Gen Programme is where your journey begins.

The focus of this programme is to:

  • Increase the skill set and understanding of the game.
  • Improve knowledge across a range of technical and tactical components to further develoment across all positions. 
  • Work with coaches who have significant experience in the intermediate grades
  • Using the skills learnt in training and use them in practice at the festival days.
