WADESTOWN SCHOOL NETBALL CLUB

Registrations are now open for our 2026 Wadestown School Netball teams!

Registrations will close on 1 March.

The Wadestown School Netball Club is run by parents and dedicated to helping all participants develop their skills in a fun and inclusive team sports environment. The school has a great group of netball players and coaches, and we’d like to welcome old and new players to register for the 2025 season. 

Players (Years 3-8)

  • All players are required to be registered with Wellington West Netball (WWN) to play for Wadestown School in the competition. Games are are held at Cardinal McKeefry School and practices take place during the week on the Wadestown School courts. Fees are $70 and must be paid at the start of the season.

Junior Players (Years 1-2)

  • Junior players take part in fun, casual lunchtime skills sessions at Weld Street, led by our Year 8 student coaches, plus two casual tournaments in August.

This club relies on the support of parents to oversee the organisation of junior and senior teams.

Team Uniform
Students are required to wear the Wadestown School sports uniform. As well as attending games, students will be required to attend a team practice either before school, during lunchtime or after school.

Coaches and Managers:

  • Coaches and Managers are required for each team. Coaches run the training sessions and attend the games. Team managers organise transport and communication between parents. Teams will not be entered into this competition unless we have adults willing to coach and/or manage the teams.
  • If you are interested in supporting the teams or if your child wishes to participate, please indicate by completing the form. If teams are full, no late enrolments will be accepted. Teams will be formed on a first registered, first in basis.
  • Registering a team costs about $185 per team, so the cost for registering your child depends on the number of players in each team. Parents are encouraged to pay prior to the season start to ensure our team gets registered.
  • Please do not send any money until you have been notified of the cost. Should you have any questions feel free to email me at james@wadestown.school.nz

 

  • WINTER HOCKEY

To be confirmed.

MINIBALL AND BASKETBALL

Our Year 3 – 8 students have the opportunity to enter an after school miniball and basketball league to be held during Terms 2 and 3 at the Nairnville Recreation Centre. We will assume you are registering for both terms, unless you get a hold of your teams manager prior to term 3s start.

Each team has a maximum of five players on the court at any time and a maximum of eight players per team. Teams are required to play one half hour game per week. Last year we entered three teams, one from each year group, and it would be great to form a few more to represent Wadestown!

Practise times are organized by the volunteer coach, either during a break time, after school or over the weekend.

Fees usually amount to around $25-$40 for the season, depending on the age group and number of players entered. We may have more than 1 team per age group, so the more volunteers, the easier the managing becomes!

Good sport is about a positive attitude

Play your part – play fair

To the best of my ability I, as a player, will:

  • Play by the rules
  • Never argue with an official
  • Work hard to do my best at all times
  • Commit to practices and turn up on time
  • Be a good sport and recognise good players and good plays by all involved
  • Learn to lose graciously, and to win with pride and grace
