Each year Chatswood Rangers Junior Netball enters teams in the Northern Suburbs Netball Association (NSNA) competition. The competition is played during the winter months, with games commencing in April and running through until August/September. Matches and training are not scheduled during the school holidays. All matches and training are played at the Bicentennial Netball Courts at Small St Willoughby (adjacent to the Willoughby Leisure Centre).
The Junior Netball Program includes:
Net Set Go – for girls and boys aged 7 to 9 years old (and children turning 6 years old who are in Year 1 of school).
Net Set Go is an introductory program for children to develop basic netball skills whilst making new friends, developing their social skills and most importantly… having FUN !
Training for Net Set Go teams is at 5:30 – 6:30 pm on Wednesday evenings.
Matches for Net Set Go are played on Sunday mornings (times TBA)
Junior Netball – is for girls aged 10 to 15 years old.
No prior netball experience is necessary – everyone is welcome to register and play netball with Chatswood Rangers. Before the start of the winter competition, pre-season grading and training sessions will be held in February & March. This will allow for all girls to be placed into a team that is suitable for their skill level, and also provides an opportunity for the girls to learn the basics of the game and to get to know their coach and team mates before the actual competition commences.
Please note that all girls who register will be placed in a team.
Training is on Wednesday evenings – Ages 10 & 11 at 5:30 pm, and ages 12 to 15 at 6:30 pm
Matches for ages 10 to 12 years are played on Friday evenings and for ages 13 to 15 years are on Saturday mornings.
Chatswood Rangers Junior Netball plays in the Northern Suburbs Netball Association (NSNA) competition. For specific NSNA competition information/rules please refer to the NSNA website
Why play netball?
Netball is a fantastic game! Not only is it played throughout Australia and New Zealand but also many other parts of the world as diverse as Africa, Asia, the UK and Europe, North America and the Caribbean. It doesn’t matter what level of skill or fitness you have or whether or not you have played before. Did you know that netball is the team sport with the most number of participants in Australia, not just among females but for both genders?
Netball leads to improved fitness levels, encourages the learning of ball skills and helps to develop teamwork. Just as importantly players make new friends, improve their co-ordination and increase their self-confidence whilst having a lot of fun at the same time.
At Chatswood Rangers Junior Netball, we’re passionate about our daughters, their friends and other local children having a strong and viable local community sporting club to represent. We have girls from a large number of local primary and high schools playing for the club, including Artarmon, Chatswood, Lane Cove West, Mowbray, Roseville, Lindfield Learning Village and many others. Chatswood Rangers offers a friendly and more personal club, with the opportunity for the players to learn under great coaches and umpires in the game. As Rangers is a community rather than school club it gives the players the chance to meet girls from other schools and make many new friends.
Our main focus is grassroots participation and encouraging girls to enjoy a healthy lifestyle by participating in a team sport activity, particularly as they move into their teenage years. Chatswood Rangers is not only a friendly community club but we’re also very competitive on the court! We’re always proud of our players who make the representative teams and go on to win local awards, as several Rangers players and officials have done in recent years.
