Hibiscus Coast Netball Centre Junior Twilight Season

The annual summer netball competition starts October 27th 2011 and runs for six weeks.

All girls and boys in years 2-8 are welcome to play. Its a great opportunity to try out a netball for the first time or take it up again after a break.

Please contact Caroline at Netball2@sportgulfharbour.co.nz if you would like to play.

It all started in England...

Netball's come a long way from its English origins, back in the 1890s when it was played on grass lawns in London and called 'Net ball'.


Gone are the days of long dresses and restricted movement, nowadays netball's a fast-paced and physically demanding sport! And we love it!!!

NETBALL NORTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME

In March Netball North in association with ASB Community Trust invited young potential Netball players to participate in a Leadership Programme. The aim of this project is to inspire and train leaders based on their involvement in sport. Netball is the largest sport (playing numbers) in the Northern area of New Zealand and the largest Netball region in this country. This programme seeks to identify and support young people who will contribute to the region.

The Development Centre programme has six elements:

Co-ordination Activity, Leadership Education/Training, Placement Opportunity, Increased Participation Access and Inspiration, Mentoring

Sport Gulf Harbour would like to congratulate Georgia Clark on her selection to take part in this programme. Georgia is currently coaching our Year 7 Netball girls. They are obviously in good hands. Well done Georgia

How much water do I need when I play netball and when should I drink it?

This is extracted  from the  Netball NZ experts site:
Hydration is a vital part of pre game preparation, along with hydration throughout the game and is an important first step for good recovery.
During preparation prior to the game, drinking between 500-600ml of water in the two hours leading up to the game helps to boost hydration levels for during the game, which is important to prepare the body for the amount of fluid that will be lost during the game through sweat and energy expenditure, this is known as 'super hydration' or 'pre-hydration'. 
During the warm-up period another 200-500ml of water keeps the body topped up before play begins. 
During the game breaks it's good to top up fluid levels by sipping another 150-300ml of water. 
Immediately following the game start cooling down with drink bottle in hand and consume 200-500ml. 
But it doesn't stop there, we need to keep rehydrating by drinking a further 800ml - 1.5L in the two hours following the game.
