Division 1 is the top division for fast paced games. It is best suited to experienced players, or anyone looking to play in a more competitive social competition who are confident with the rules of netball.
Division 2 is for recreational and beginner players. It is best suited to newly formed teams learning to play together.
Division 3 (Sundays only) is for beginner players or anyone wanting to try netball.
While we will always try to run a competition with 2/3 divisions, a competition may become amalgamated if there aren’t enough teams we may amalgamate the divisions. We will let you know before the start of competition if this is the case.
The division in which a team plays is also dependant on the Social Netball Grading Policy.
Please email [email protected] to let us know every competition if players are shared between teams.
While we can’t guarantee team times for matches, we will endeavour to meet your requirements.
*NB: Please ensure you inform the Social Netball teams of this every competition as requirements will not automatically roll over.
