Dunedin Netball Development Opportunities for Players

Under 18 and Under 16 Development Days

Get Ready for the Season

These programmes are available for players in Years 1 - 4, 5 & 6, and 7 & 8 and will run on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons during April and May prior to the beginning of the season.
For more information around dates, times and registrations for these, please see the Development Programmes page under the Programmes tab.

Year 7 & 8 Development Teams

At the Year 7 & 8 age-group Dunedin Netball believe it is valuable to give more opportunities for players to experience tournaments as well as still encourage the competitive traits of players. The rationale in this, alongside NNZ’s review, is to keep more players in our great sport for longer.

Those who participate in the Year 7 & 8 Development Programmes are eligible for being in these teams.

No trials will be held, rather players will be randomly assigned to teams.  

These teams will take part in development tournaments; dates TBC

For more information around registration dates please see the Development Teams tab. 

Year 9 & 10 Development Teams 
At the Year 9 & 10 age-group Dunedin Netball believe it is valuable to give more opportunities for players to experience tournaments as well as still encourage the competitive traits of players. The rationale in this, alongside NNZ’s review, is to keep more players in our great sport for longer.

Those who participate in the Year 9 & 10 Development Programmes are eligible for being in these teams. Players will be streamed into teams.
