What an awesome start to the rep’s season with Netball Manurewa having two under 14’s representative teams. Manurewa Kakariki & Manurewa Ma have played exceptional at the tournaments which they have been a part of so far at Papakura, Pukekohe, Howick Pakuranga & North Harbour. All the best to our Manurewa Ma team who will be heading down to Taranaki for the Junior Netball Championship.

Netball Manurewa proudly hosted our very first 7-Aside Transition Programme—created to support tamariki as they move from 6-aside futureFERNS to the traditional 7-aside game of netball. The session was action-packed, with a strong focus on educating players about the seven on-court positions, understanding the key rule differences between the two formats, and building technical skills through position-specific workshops in Shooting, Midcourt, and Defence. It was fantastic to see a great mix of Year 6 and intermediate-aged players getting involved—especially those who will be stepping up to the Intermediate grade in 2026. Keep an eye out for our next Transition Programme, coming soon to support our Netball Manurewa whānau.
Ka mau te wehi! |

Nau mai rā e Matariki Kua tau mai anō ngā whetū o te tau hou Māori ki te rangi, hei tohu mō te tīmatanga o tētahi wā hou. He wā whakahirahira tēnei mō te hapori – he wā e whakanuia ai ngā maumaharatanga, e hono ai tātou ki ō tātou tīpuna, ā, e whakatakotohia ai ngā wawata mō ngā rā kei te heke mai. I raro i te maramataka Māori, ka kohikohia te wairua o te tau kua pahure, ā, ka tīmata tātou ki te waihanga i te orokohanga hou. He wā hoki tēnei mō te kotahitanga, te aroha, me te manaakitanga. Welcome in the Māori New Year with us, invite to all our players, teams, clubs, school & whānau to share kai, kōrero and loads of fun for our kids. We have plenty of kai on sale by our clubs / schools, giveaways, a space for our parents to park up and 3 hours of fun for our kids. Ka whakanuia e tātou te tīmatanga o Matariki, ā, nau mai rā kia tūhono mai tātou katoa i raro i te korowai o Netball Manurewa. |
