Taieri Plains Junior Netball

Taieri Plains Junior Netball was started in the 1970's to enable children from the Taieri and surrounding areas to play a regular netball competition.

Games are played each Saturday from April through September at the Taieri College Courts in Green Street, Mosgiel.

We run two competitions:

Future Ferns - for children in Years 3 & 4 - Netball NZ rules, but shorter poles and more lenient Umpiring

Junior Netball - for children in Years 5 to 8 - Netball NZ Rules with full height Poles

Each year we select Representative Teams for Years 6, 7 & 8 and these teams represent our district at several tournaments in Otago.

In 2008 we have approximately 580 players from 66 teams and 11 schools:

• Abbotsford
• Coastal (Brighton/Ocean View/Taieri Beach/ Waldronville)
• East Taieri
• Elmgrove
• Fairfield
• Green Island
• Outram (including Lee Stream & Strath Taieri)
• Silverstream South
• St Mary's Mosgiel
• St Peter Chanel
• Taieri College  Year 7 & 8

Taieri Plains Junior Netball is an Associate of Netball Otago.
