School Holiday Break 

Enjoy the holidays! We look forward to welcoming everyone back for Round 12 on Saturday 18th July, 2026.

JUNIOR COMPETITION - Saturday

Our Saturday Junior Competition is shaping up to be the standout of our Junior program and promises to be our biggest and most popular season yet.
We run the competition in line with the local Club fixture during the Winter Season (April - September).
Games are played outdoors between the hours of 8am and 12noon.

We have a number of local Netball Clubs, School entities and Non-Club-Affiliated teams entering this competition, which caters for junior age groups and mixed skill levels.
We recommend new players attend training and trial days with their preferred Participating Club to foster a sense of Club comradery and skill development.

Non-Club-Affiliated teams are always welcome, as are singular players. Our Association will find a team for singular players to join!

If you are a Participating Club representative looking to Register your team/s, your Club admin can head straight to Netball Connect.

If you represent a Non-Club-Affiliated team and would like to register, please complete the WDNA Junior Registration Form and we will help set your team up in Netball Connect.
