U8 program
The under 8 (U8) program is specifically developed for children age 7 to 8. (born in 2015, 2016).
We introduce Netball through modified games, lots of fun activities that promote ball handling skills and footwork movement. We will join carnivals when available and organize friendly games.
Most importantly is to make new friends and begin to love playing netball.
Beginners aged 7 to 8 will join the U8 squad as the level of this age group is on beginners level.
Cost
The program follows the school calendar and the year is divided into 4 terms. Registration is for one term, followed by quarterly renewals. Players can join anytime unless the registration is closed.
The program fee for one term is $350 for 1 term (10 sessions of 2 hours). New players need to purchase an attire of $60 and there is a one time administration fee of $30.
Program fees can be prorated when you let us know before the start of a term which sessions the player is not able to join. Once joined the first session, full or agreed fees apply. The minimum number of sessions for a term is 7.
Attire
The Singapore Netball Academy Attire is Red-white in color. The T-shirt is white with our logo printed on the front and the text "Singapore Netball Academy" printed on the back. The shorts are red with our logo printed on the front. The socks are white with SGNA logo on both sides. This attire is mandatory for all players in the academy. The cost of 1 set is $60 to be paid at the first session.
Trial
We do not provide trial classes. Trial classes are very difficult to organize as we need to rent a court and provide coaches. The reality is that we have to decide on a timing that is convenient for everyone where everyone has their own schedule and no one finally is able to attend the trial classes at the same time. The option to join a running program for 1 session is not feasible as this will disturb the program continuously, something we want to prevent as the players in the program have the right to get the full attention of the coaches. Our advice is to watch one of the sessions and try at least for 1 term (10 sessions) to find out if you or your daughter likes Netball.
Alternatively you might want the player to join the Afterschool program on Thursday 5-7pm for a trial session. After a successful trial you can register for another program.
Venue
Our venues for the U8 programs are Methodist Girls' School (MGS) Kranji Primary School (KPS) and Haig Girls' School (HGS) and when MGS, HGS or KPS is not available we will use OCBC Arena or Kallang Netball Centre.
