TWILIGHT - FAST 5 

Welcome to the Whangārei Netball Centre Twilight Fast 5 Competition!
Fast 5 is a fast-paced, exciting version of netball that’s perfect for reconnecting with friends, staying active, and enjoying the game in a fun, inclusive environment. Our Twilight Fast 5 focuses on community and team spirit, offering clubs, schools, businesses, and social groups the chance to mix players and play together.

Teams are encouraged to include a mix of male and female players from across senior, college, and intermediate levels. If your team is mostly intermediate-aged players, we recommend adding some adults, as you’ll be playing against teams that include adult players.

Register now and join the fun of Twilight Fast 5!
