Netball Taranaki Annual Report 2020

REPRESENTATIVE NETBALL Netball Taranaki offered representative opportunities for the Under 18, Under 16, Under 16 Mixed and Under 14 age groups. We had our largest turnout of players trialing for the Under 14 team with 130 players wanting a spot in the team in 2020 up from 74 in 2019.
