Netball is a popular sport in South African schools. It is a team sport of 7 players a side,
played by two teams on the court. The objective is to drive the ball to the hoops and
score goals. The ball is passed from the centre circle and thrown to team players until it
can be passed through the hoop.
Hillgrove Secondary School learners enjoy the game of netball. In April the school
hosted a netball match between two schools, Hillgrove Secondary and Welabasha High
School, from Empangeni.
