COUNTIES MANUKAU SECONDARY SCHOOL NETBALL COMPETITION

The 2025 CMSS competition has now ended.  This season CMSS coimpetition showcased not only some outstanding netball but also the incredible support from our school communities.  The cheering, encouragement, and sense of school pride heard across the courts was a true reflection of the spirit that makes this competition so special.

Thank you for helping create such a memorable finish to the season!

• In 2025, the CMSS competition experienced a 16% increase in participation.
• This year also marked the introduction of school-provided umpires for our Year 7 & 8 grades, enabling us to coach, develop and support these young officials as they begin their journey through the umpiring pathway.

We would like to wish all schools participating in the upcoming UNISS tournament the very best of luck.   We also remind all schools that if you require any support in the lead up to UNISS or AIMS with NetballSmart resources or Coach Development please don’t hesitate to reach out and we will see what we can do to provide support or find support for your school.
