TOURNAMENTS

Prep ‘n’ Play – The PNC Way (Preseason Feb-March) - Register here

• A 6-week competition, designed to prepare our Rangatahi, Umpires and Coaches for the PNC 2025 Winter Netball season.  Netball Clubs and School Team Coaches can also use this tournament to select their Intermediate and College grade teams.
• Each week there will be Netball Smart Prep ‘N’ Play skills/activities that will be taught to our Rangatahi that could ultimately improve their netball skills and Hauora.
• Our Rangatahi will also get to showcase their Netball skills to the PNC Representative Team Coaches, who will be watching for talent leading up to the PNC Rep Trials.
• There are no team sheets, no add and deletes.  Enter the grade you wish to play in and bring along anyone that meets that grade criteria (criteria as per PNC Reg 9 and 9.1).  This creates a great opportunity for clubs to use this short competition to bring along trialists for your club teams, to work on combinations, and to have a space for those who say 'I just want to give it a try' first.  

 What is the PNC Way? The PNC was initially developed as part of our newly launched Prep n Play competition and has since evolved into a core representation of PNC’s values, shaping everything we plan to deliver this year and beyond.  While it aligns with how we currently operate, it will serve as the foundation for several exciting initiatives, including promoting positive sideline behaviour, enhancing our Representative Program, and guiding our competitions moving forward.  Watch this space!

2025 Reps Program

Our Netball Development Manager and NetballSmart Activator, Kat Keelan, has been working diligently on preparing the 2025 travel, accommodation, trial, and selection processes.
