Netball Manawatu

U17 Men

2023 saw the introduction of the U17 Men's grade into the Netball New Zealand U18 Competition.

This year we are excited to announce that we have appointed a U17 Men’s Coach who we will work alongside to build up a Men’s representative programme over the next two years.

More information will be updated here regarding tournaments and training schedules.

Trial Dates for U17 Men - TBC

Open Women's

This year our Open Women's teams are heading away to Auckland. We endeavor to have the trial dates communicated to the community in JUNE to ensure that players can organize leave and pay fees to attend.

More information will be updated here once the two Coaching Team appointments have been made.
