Netball

Netball is the largest sport at Sacred Heart with around 300 girls playing for the College every year.  We have teams playing in Hamilton City Netball, Morrinsville Netball and Te Awamutu Netball Centres. 

The College has a long and proud tradition of netball success across all years and grades.  To sustain this level we have committed parents, staff, old girls and a wider community who assist in our netball programme.

The College has 5 netball courts that have recently been resurfaced in high quality synthetic sporting turf. 

Netball Committee
In 2010 the Netball Committee was formalised.  The Committee’s role is to help assist the College in the running of our netball programme.  The development of our players, coaches, managers and umpires is a major goal of the Netball Committee and College.
The AGM will be held in February in the PE room above gym – date to be advised.  All people are welcome to attend.
