Netball - Terms 2 and 3

Summary: The Netball programme is well established at Sacred Heart College; it is the sport that has the highest level of participation. This year we have 11 teams across the local secondary competitions.  We aim to offer Netball for girls to participate at all levels.

All Sacred Heart girls playing Netball are expected to firstly play for the school. Some Senior girls, if it does not clash with school team practices may also be able to play for a club team.

Our Senior Premier team plays in the Super Secondary League for which is held on a Tuesday evening at PGA in Taradale. All other teams play in the school competition organised by the Hawkes Bay Netball Association at the Hawke’s Bay Sports Park on a Saturday morning.

Logistics: The Sports Department manages the school Netball programme with the help of some very dedicated staff and coaches.
