If attending college you are encouraged to play for your own college team in the first instance.  Approach your school Sport Coordinator to find out more.  Colleges that play within our winter competition are listed further down this page below the club team table.

If a school-leaver you will need to look for a club.  It is good to trial at a club which has a range of teams within each grade so that you get a feel for where you belong and slot in correctly for your skill level. Our winter competition runs April to late August. Grades are explained at the top of this page. Premier grades play 4 x 15 minute quarters games while Premier Reserve down to Senior grades play 4 x 10 minute quarter games. Check out the club websites/Facebook pages in the table further down this page. We suggest you contact the club and don’t be afraid to ask questions about coaches, trainings, fitness opportunities and club social activities on offer etc.  It is important to find a club where you will feel comfortable and can play at the level that will help you develop your play however best suits you.

If attending school yet wishing to play for a club, please discuss your options with your Sport Coordinator. If intending to play elsewhere, notification should be given to your college. A Player College to Club Notification needs to be sent by the Sport Coordinator via email to games@netballwellington.co.nz.

Contact the club and don’t be afraid to ask questions about grades, trainings and club activities etc.  The club may require you to attend trials. Don’t be put off as it is a good way to get a feel for how the club operates and to work out if it is what you are looking for... not to mention meet new people!  If you want to play in a more social grade make it clear from the start (communication is key!) so that the club can place you in the right team. It is important to find a club where you will feel comfortable and where you can play at a level that you will enjoy.

First step would be to approach an existing club and ask to enter a team under their umbrella.  You'll need to pay their fees and be subject to any rules they have in place. 

If you want to set up your own single team member club, you're best to consult with our Community Competitions Officer via email to games@netballwellington.co.nz well before our season starts in April. Associated cost is stated in our NWC Rules and involves a one-off affiliation fee as well as an annual registration fee per team for the season. Remember you will also need to decide upon a club name & playing uniform then ensure the uniform is registered and approved by our Centre prior to purchase & order in time for the start of the season. This helps ensure uniforms remain unique and do not too closely resemble others already in circulation. Uniforms need not be glitsy - a uniform top with skirt/shorts may do. Please enquire to above email.
