It is an eight week season and teams provide their own umpires (*a maximum of three boys can take the court at any one time, one in each third).
“Summer league is all about getting out – after being contained to our houses for so long – and enjoying the longer evenings playing netball with your friends and whanau,” said HPNC netball administrator Tracey Limond.
“We’re particularly pleased about offering a college boys grade this year which provides a pathway for boys to continue developing their skills in the game.
“HPNC’s focus is to open up the sport of netball to more and more people who wouldn’t traditionally have had the opportunity.
“Examples are our Game Changers (Sommerville Special School) invitational team, a growing walking netball competition and having all boys teams in our Wednesday schools competition and summer league.”
