Nine clubs will be competing in the competition that gets on court in late April and plays on Friday nights for nine weeks.<\/p>\n
The focus of the competition is development and participation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a need for this league as kids want to play netball and they have to wait so long to get into the 11 and under competition,\u201d said BFNL netball manager Gemma Murphy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is only our second season and we\u2019ve got more clubs already.\u201d<\/p>\n
All games are set for Ballarat High School and each club will host one of the evenings, while BHS runs the canteen.<\/p>\n
\u201cCommunity sport is a great thing for everyone to be involved in,\u201d Ms Murphy said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s good for children\u2019s motor skills, it\u2019s being a part of a team, learning and developing in many different ways and just being part of a community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe feel of under nines is incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n
