HASCA has been coordinating and supporting homeschool sports teams since 2002! We enter homeschool teams into Netball North Harbour Competitions which play at the Barfoot & Thompson Netball Centre in Northcote, on Auckland’s North Shore. Our homeschool teams compete against local Primary, Intermediate, and High School teams. *Check Years of Schooling in New Zealand here to check your child’s grade/year.

The inter-school Winter Competitions run in terms 2 & 3; these are competitive but fun! Netball North Harbour’s Social Leagues – Summer & Spring – run in terms 1 & 4.

Our HASCA homeschool netball team entries are based on interest and the number of children wanting to play within each grade/year. On occasion we may combine two grades to ensure team entry but will only do this if the age range and experience is suitable and approved by NNH’s Games Committee. (If we have a mixed team covering two grades, the team will usually need to play up in the higher grade.)

TEAMS DON’T HAPPEN UNLESS, PARENTS MAKE THEM HAPPEN! Parent contribution is key. Like most schools and clubs, HASCA netball team formation is highly dependent on parental support: each team must have a coach, manager, and an umpire, so we do need your support to make our teams happen! (An umpire may be an experienced older student or an adult.)

Training & Practices: All teams hold practices once a week to fit in with coach and player availability. Often teams train prior to games at NNH’s Northcote courts.

Location: All games are played at Netball North Harbour’s AMI Netball Courts on Northcote Road about 100m from the Northcote off-ramp.

Coaches & Managers: All HASCA teams rely on voluntary coaches and managers, usually older teens or parents. All new coaches will be given the opportunity to attend a coaching workshop. 

Coordinator for HASCA Netball: We are in need of a netball coordinator for the 2023 winter season (which commences end of April 2023). Are you willing to help? This role will see you take registrations and get any homeschool netball teams up and running prior to the season and liase with Netball North Harbour if needed; from then on, it is a background support role. Email HASCA if you would like to know more or be considered for the role. Thank you.

HASCA Support: HASCA provides support with team registration, provision of sports team uniforms and training gear, and subsidised fees when possible. (All team members and team support must be HASCA members.)
