Competitions: There is only a Girls tournament. Boys are permitted to play within a team in the Girls competition but a team may only have a maximum of one boy in each third of the court at any one time. Each school can only enter one team. If you have additional teams we will add them to a waiting list in the case of the netball competition not being full.

Umpires: Each school is required to supply an umpire that will umpire their own games. You will need to include their information when entering your team. You will be umpiring your own team. Some umpires will be provided by the tournament organisers.

Format: The Netball tournament has a girls competition. It will play round robin games in pools, the results of which will give seeding for a knockout round resulting in overall placings. Get your draws here.
