AGE CATEGORIES

Netball Alberta runs league programmes in Fall, Winter & Spring for ages U12 to Seniors and Summer Camp programmes from age 8 to 14. Our Leagues are broken down into Junior A or B, and Senior A or B Leagues.

Junior A or B: U12 from ages 8 to 16. Evaluations will take place prior to the League starting to determine team placement. If a child shows previous expertise or a greater ability they may be moved up to the older age group by the coach. In some cases we have older players in this group who are still grasping the nuances of the game or younger players who have the ability to play with an older group. These players are looking to rise to the Goslings & Cygnets; teams from this age group that play in the Senior B Recreational league and are identified by the coaches as having the potential to play Provincially, representing Alberta in tournaments and events.

Senior B (Recreational Ladies): This league includes the Cygnets and Goslings teams made up of U16 players who have the potential to play Provincially and require a higher level of competitive netball. The remainder of the league is made up of ladies (and some men) who are either new to netball or have some experience but no longer want to play and the higher competition end of our association. Ages therefore range widely from under 16-18 up and coming age group players, to adults 50+.

Senior A: This league is for our Provincial players and past Provincial players who still like a highly competitive league. We have a few men who also play in this league. This league is not for the inexperienced player although we do feed in from the Goslings & Cygnets as the year progresses and potential Provincial candidates are identified.
