The U16 Representative Programme is the starting point of the Christchurch Netball Representative Pathway for many players. Each year, our U16 teams compete in the Tupuranga Championship, gaining valuable experience in an age-appropriate, challenging competition that encourages fair play, balanced participation, and skill development. This programme also helps grow a strong pool of players, coaches, and officials who are ready to represent Christchurch at higher levels.
