Miniball registrations open

By: Hannah Sadler | Posted Thursday May 21, 2026

Miniball is a modified version of basketball, designed for primary school-aged children, typically aged 7-12, that features smaller courts, lower hoops, and a smaller ball, often with simpler rules to make it a fun and accessible introduction to the game. We encourage girls and boys to play. This league is a social league and is a fun way for your child to get involved in team sports. The games will be held at Nairnville Rec Centre in Khandallah.

Register here

Registrations close at 3pm on Friday 12th of June. Unfortunately, we cannot accept late registrations.

Dates and times to be confirmed.

We need a coach/manager per team

Each team will need to have a coach/manager to successfully register. If you are interested in volunteering for one of these positions, please indicate this on the response form. We welcome new faces to get involved. You do not need to be an expert on basketball. Some teams may choose to have a practice session once a week, but this is up to the coach’s discretion.

Cost

The fee will be confirmed as soon as teams are finalised. The invoice for fees will be added to your child’s account in the school shop and will need to be paid prior to the first game.

Uniforms for all teams

All students will need to have an Amesbury school sports top, and wear appropriate (non-marking) sports shoes.

NOTE: These tops are a smaller 'sports fit' than the uniform polo tops (approx. one to half a size smaller). If your child does not have a sports top, it can be ordered via the school shop. You are more than welcome to come in and have your child try one on if you are unsure of sizing.

Rules and fair play

Please see the attached Miniball rules and the fair play code for players, coaches and parents.
