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 two Zone tournaments, Balclutha - August 4; Dunedin - August 18.

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