futureFERNS Year 7 & 8


By Year 7 & 8, our futureFERN players are ready for the full 7 v 7 game. The focus now shifts to building strong foundation netball skills and applying what they’ve learned in a more competitive environment.

Players at this age enjoy challenge, performance, and the excitement of playing the full game. To support their growth, we encourage positional rotation and coaches ensure every player gets at least half a game, giving them meaningful opportunities to develop and contribute.

Players register directly with their school or club.
