About Netball

“Netball is more than just a CCA, it is a way of life.”

Netball is a game that demands stamina, skills, accuracy, and teamwork. Through Netball, we hope to inculcate our school values as well as sportsmanship in our students. We also hope that our students will forge lifelong friendships through the love of the sport.

Our objectives are:

To encourage the love of the game through the teaching of Netball skills and concepts
To enable students to acquire the understanding of playing a netball game
To instill a sense of responsibility and discipline through routines
To enable students to develop their fundamental motor skills and movement concepts
To develop student athletes who are team players and persevere in difficult situations
To provide opportunities for students to apply their leadership skills through Netball sessions
To develop friendship and a sense of belonging

Key Highlights

All students participating in Netball CCA are taught the concepts and rules of the game. They also work on their fundamental movement skills through drills and activities. Students who show potential to compete at a higher level will be selected for the D3T2 Training Squad. They will undergo vigorous training twice a week – Mondays and Fridays to develop their Netball competencies.

On top of skills and knowledge acquisition in the Netball sessions, students are provided with opportunities to develop 21CC through experiential learning outside the classroom.

Netballers are given the opportunity to compete in the National School Games Netball Zonal Championships, various Sports Carnivals and friendly games with other teams. Our HGS team managed to clinch the 1st Runner-up in the East Zone Primary Schools Netball Championship Junior Division in 2017 and Champions in the East Zone Primary Schools Netball Championship Senior Division 2018.

Most recently, the Senior Team achieved 2nd Runner-up in the East Zone Primary Schools Senior Division 2023.
