Together, let's make netball even better for everyone involved!

Netball returns to Ākau Tangi - we're back at it!

We’ve all started somewhere & there’s no bigger confidence boost than hearing words of support & encouragement from those around us. So spare a thought… your scorer may be familiarising themselves with new tech, the scoring console may have a mind of its own, and your umpire may not perfectly capture every moment of play across the entire court. Thinking before speaking goes a long way towards everyone having a good time. We're all for keeping vibes positive & words upbeat 💗

Congratulations to NWC Umpire Group member Caleb Binns alongside Netball Hutt Valley Centre member Gareth Fowler, named among seven Official of the Year Finalists as part of this year's 2026 Āti Awa Toa Wellington Regional Sports Awards! These hard-working individuals who continue to give back in so many ways are most deserving of such esteemed recognition. We are grateful that they continue to wave the flag for our beloved sport of netball and wish them the best for awards night on 20 August 🙌

Here's your round 11 Premier lineup for Sat 18 July 😤

3 more weeks of the round remain for our Premier, Prem Res & Senior grades before they head into Semi's & Finals 💼 Our Men's grades have 3 more weeks to play and will finish up on Aug 1.

Collegiate grades have another break this weekend due to school holidays, before they return to finish their last 4 weeks of the season.

Best of luck to all team playing this weekend! 🥳

So close! Congratulations Netball Waitākere 1 on your well-deserved win today. It was a tightly contested first half, yet you put your foot on the pedal in the third quarter, with us coming back strongly in the 4th quarter. Final score: 35-37.

To our PAK'nSAVE Kilbirnie U18 Wellington Black team - we are incredibly proud of you.
