Our junior sport philosophy:
"To encourage players to play in a cooperative way without the pressures of a "win at all costs" competition. The emphasis is on skill development, team participation and commitment, applying good sporting behaviour and, above all enjoyment." ie) Non Competitive, Skill Development, Fun!
The Boroondara Netball Association accepts and abides by the Netball Victoria Junior Netball Charter and the Netball Australia Junior Sport Policy (Note: see our own 2005 Netta Netballers featured in this document!).

Junior Netball Pathway:
Research has shown that provision of an age appropriate, staged progression for Netball participation is an essential element in developing confident and skilled participants.
The main points to note are:
-
Participation in Fun Net (Year 2) and Netta Netball (Year 3 / 4) Programs - skill development programs using modified rules & equipment.
-
"No Finals" for children Year 4 and below - non competitive matches with no ladders or finals
-
Equal gender opportunites for children in Year 6 and below - no restrictions on male / female playing ratios
Boroondara Netball Association Recommended Pathway
- Fun Net: basic motor skill development for children in Year 2 & below
- Netta Netball: netball specific skill development program for children in years 3 / 4
- Junior Net: non competitive netball matches with no ladders or finals for children in year 4 who have completed the Netta Netball program.
- Junior Competition: competitive netball matches with ladders & finals for players in Year 5 and above.
