Information on Joining Netball​​​​​​​

So... you want to play netball?​​​​​​​

Howick Pakuranga Netball Centre (HPNC) is situated at 451 Pakuranga Highway and is one of the many sports clubs at Lloyd Elsmore Park. HPNC organises and runs netball for the community. We are affiliated to Netball Northern Zone (home of the Mystics) and Netball New Zealand (go the Silver Ferns!). HPNC has 14 affiliated clubs, who range in size from 1 to 24 teams. 


Howick Pakuranga Netball Centre offers netball programmes for all ages and abilities. Junior netball (Year 1-4) is played in the year group you are in at school, and is played on Monday and Tuesday afternoons, after school. Please read below for further information on Woolworths futureFERNS.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The Saturday winter competition begins when players are in Year 5. Girls at Secondary School can play in the College grades, or for the older more confident players they may play in the Senior grades on Saturdays. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
