Woolworth futureFERNS 

Woolworth futureFERNS progresses players though modified formats of Netball that recognises their stage of physical and mental development. The aim is not only to grow their Netball abilities but also to help with their overall physical literacy which includes confidence, motivation, knowledge and understanding and physical competence.

Here at HPNC we run a 8 Week program for year 1 - 6 during term time. 

We split into two year groups, year 1 - 2,  year 3 - 4 and year 5 - 6:

  • Year 1-2, Introduces Netball to 5-6 year olds. The aim is to develop fundamental movement and basic Netball skills. Playing 4 v 4 allows the players to pass, catch and shoot from day one.​​​​​​​
  • Year 3-4, Is designed to be fast and fun, maximising participation and touches of the ball. With modified equipment and less players on the court, in 5 v 5 the game is less complicated.
  • Year 5-6, Is focused on developing the basic skills, which are the foundation stones of a great Netball player. The programme is sequential, developing a series of skills, each one building on the other skills. The 6v6 game is fast and provides players with lots of touches on the ball to enhance skill development, engagement and enjoyment.
