NETBALL:

Great effort by all teams last Saturday all coming away with a WIN!

Player of the day was Harper (Room 7) with her attacking game in the goal circle and her shots in goal (she was on)! Special mention to Kundiso (Room 7), great defence and really held her own against her partner and awesome positional play.

Another awesome game with the team working hard to dominate possession, taking the lead early and staying ahead to win the game. We had two player of the day this week - Izzy (Room 10) for creating space to receive the ball and outstanding shooting, and Hannah (Room 9) for some incredible intercepts and constantly giving her team someone to pass to. Special mention to Amelia (Room 10), Jorindi (Room 9) and Luna (Room 8), who played so well on defence against a tough opponent under the goal.

JUNIOR NETBALL REGISTRATION:

Registrations are open for Year 3 & 4 Junior Netball (Term 4).

Starts – Saturday, 19^th October – Saturday, 7^th December (last day). No game on Labour Weekend (26^th October).

We will need a parent/parents volunteer to help on the day to make this work no experience needed!

This is an awesome intro into netball!

Year 3 & 4 Programme:

Year 3 & 4’s play a modified version of the game (5 v 5) over two thirds of a netball court using a size.

4 netball and 2.6 metre goals. A portable goal will be used at one end. Girls and boys can play.

Positions are 2 x Attacker, 2 x Defender, 1 x Centre, with the court split into halves. MK will provide all resources for the programme, including Junior Co-ordinators to lead the programme, and all equipment (including balls and bibs).

Each weekly session is 60 minutes long and incorporates both a skill development period and a game of approximately 4 x 6 minute quarters. There are five players from each team on the court. Teams may use rolling substitutions at any time during the game. A maximum of eight players per team is recommended. We prefer to register year 3 & 4 players within school teams. However, if there are not enough players from a single school to form appropriate sized teams, we are happy to accept registrations from individuals, and make up teams from these players each week.

No more than 16 teams can participate in any round. The amount of rounds will depend on the amount of entries. Confirmation of your round will be made as soon as possible after the closing date of entries.

Each team registration must be accompanied by at least one Year 3/4 Coach registration. On Game Day (Saturday), Coaches supervise a small group of children under the guidance of the Junior Co-ordinator (provided by MK). Coaches need to attend a Woolworths futureFERNS training course and be available on Game Day. There is no umpire, but a Junior Co-ordinator or Coach is allowed onto the court to assist and support players during the game.

If you have any questions or if you are interested, please email Lalita at netball@sacred-heart.school.nz.
