High 5 netball in primary schools
Gloucestershire primary schools participate in five district leagues, playing the High 5 format of the game. The districts within Gloucestershire are Cheltenham, Cotswold, Forest, Gloucester and Stroud. The winners of each district play in the County High 5 Final.
High 5 is a modified version of the game designed for girls and boys aged 9-11 (years 5-6). The main differences in High 5 from standard 7-a-side netball are:
- Five players on the court
- Other squad members take on the roles of timekeeper, score, umpire and centre pass marker
- Squad rotation
- Size 4 Netball
- 9ft post
- 4 seconds to pass the ball
- Normal court markings - up to a full sized court
- 4 quarters of 6 minutes
England Netball is currently offering free membership for the first 12 months to primary schools who want to be involved in High 5 Netball.
More information and resources on High 5 are available from England Netball.
