3. Sports - Basketball, Miniball and Netball

Netball

The season starts on Friday 28th April (the first Friday in term 2, no Saturday netball anymore) and all teams have to be registered by next week.  At this stage we have enough players for 3 teams and the Yr 1 & 2 students will go to a skills session on the same day.  We are in the process of sorting out teams as we have some new players and are deciding which grade they will play in.  We do need a couple more players in the Yr 3-6 section and if your child is keen to play or you are interested in coaching/managing a team, please let Mrs Brien know.  Her email address is pbrien@stjoseph.school.nz Boys are very welcome to play.

Once teams are finalised and coaches are confirmed, we will let you know when their practice days are and further information.  This will be done before the end of the term. Below is a list of children wishing to play netball this season.

Heads Up - there is a Yr 5-8 Development Camp being held on Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th April from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm at the Waitaki Rec Centre.  Further information will be on the North Otago Netball Facebook page.
