HIGH-5 NETBALL
High-5 Netball is the only England Netball recommended version of the game for children in school years 5 and 6 (9 to 11 years).
High 5 Netball is a fun, skilful game, where players are able to rotate positions and adapt their skills to play in any position. Along with many other sports, England Netball believes that a modified game at this age group provides the best foundation for young people to develop the physical, social and tactical skills required, in addition to developing knowledge and understanding of the game.
