How do I set up a Stingers game (Years 5 and 6)?
Rule- England
- England Netball
- Bee Netball
- Ages 5-11
- Fliers
- Stingers
- 2026/27
- Coaches
- Court: 20 m x 10 m up to a full-size court (30.5 m x 15.25 m), with normal netball markings. On smaller courts, keep the centre circle and shooting circles full size.
- Posts: 2.74 m (9 ft), placed at the middle point of each end. Shorten adjustable posts to that height. If a post is a fixed length, lower the ring instead. Where non-regulation posts are used, any padding should extend as high up the pole as possible.
- Ball: size 4.
- Squad: up to 9 players, with 5 on court: GS, GA, C, GD and GK (no WA or WD).
- Mixed squads: a maximum of 2 boys on court at any time.
- Game time: quarters or halves, depending on ability, rotating players at every break.
- Safety: check the court and surrounding area are level, free from hazards and secured from general public access.
