The netball programme at St Paul’s places emphasis on skill development and making the most of all opportunities. Our netball teams enjoy top-quality facilities, including a gymnasium with a spring floor, gym equipment for our strength and conditioning training, and a heated 25m swimming pool. With a range of fixtures, the netball programme caters for our top athletes and those just wanting to give it a go with friends.

St Paul’s supports the representative structure and encourages the involvement of our athletes, such as through the Hamilton City Netball Centre representative programme. We have strong links with the Waikato Bay of Plenty Zone programme and have a number of girls involved in that scene.
