Overview
Netball is delivered by Wakatipu High School and is our highest participation sport. Each year we field just over 20 teams across a variety of pathways. All teams play in competitions run by the Wakatipu Netball Centre, with games on Thursday evenings or Saturdays.
Top teams (Year 9A, 10A, and Senior A and B) are selected to compete in school exchanges and in regional and South Island Secondary School tournaments (details below). Teams train once a week at WHS.
