High 5
High 5 Netball is the only game of netball that children of Primary school age should be playing. It is a fun, skilful game, where players are able to rotate positions and adapt their skills to play in any position. The game was developed through extensive consultation with coaches, teachers and physical educationalists.
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.
England Netball provides resources and support only for High 5 Netball, for boys and girls playing in Primary Schools.
Any school, club or group, which may require help with the delivery of High 5 Netball, should contact the Regional Manager.
