NETBALL & BASKETBALL

Essential netball and basketball equipment for schools

When it comes to playing netball and basketball in a school setting, there are several essential pieces of equipment that are necessary for a successful game.

These items not only ensure the safety of the players but also contribute to the overall enjoyment and effectiveness of the sport. Here are some of the essential netball and basketball equipment for schools:

Netball equipment

Netball posts

Netball posts are an important piece of equipment needed for playing netball in schools. They provide the structure for the game, allowing players to shoot and score goals.

When choosing netball posts for schools, it is important to consider factors such as durability, height adjustability, and stability.

Here at AMV we have a wide range of netball posts for you to choose from. The 3.05m Netball Post is popular within secondary schools (the smaller 2.74m Netball Post is more popular in primary schools due to the smaller size) and combines striking aesthetics with high functionality.

You can order the posts in a range of bespoke colour options, and it is made from highly durable materials meaning it will withstand the elements for many years to come. Another benefit with the durability is it has excellent vandal resistance properties.

Netball Ring Units

As well as netball posts, we also have a selection of netball ring units to choose from. These combine netball rings in a single unit and ideal to place within school yards for breaktime play or general practice.

The Challenger Unit 9 is a popular unit among headteachers. It features a robust frame that holds the netball rings, you can choose to have this in a range of colour combinations so it matches your school aesthetics.

It is available in two heights – 2.74m for junior schools and 3.05m for secondary schools.

Netball Courts

Our netball court is crucial for netball sports activities within schools, giving coaches, teachers and students an official area and structure to play games in.

Available in a standard size markings of 30m x 15m, the netball court markings are also available in bespoke options to fit your playground space. You can also choose different colours for the lines and markings.

Basketball equipment

Basketball posts

Our range of basketball posts are constructed with premium materials to withstand regular use and outdoor conditions.

Here at AMV Playgrounds, we offer a range of basketball posts to choose from. The classic basketball post is available in three sizes – 3.05m, 2.6m, and 2m options. The 3.05m option is perfect for secondary schools, the 2m is ideal for primary schools, and the 2.6m option can be found in either primary or secondary schools. You can order the posts in a range of bespoke colour options to suit your school’s aesthetics.

We also supply a wall mounted basketball net which is ideal for school yards which are next to buildings or other solid structures.

Basketball goal units

Our range of basketball goal units are popular with primary and secondary schools, and offer you the option of having a goal unit that is ideal for breaktime use or general practice among students.

We have a range of configurations which contain a different number of goal units. A popular option is the Challenge Unit 12 which contains three basketball goals on a single unit. It is available in two heights – 2.6m (ideal for primary schools) and 3.05m (ideal for secondary schools).

Basketball courts

Our basketball court markings come in a standard size of 30m x 15m, but if your playground space is smaller or you have capacity for a larger court, we can provide you with a bespoke size. Contact our team here at AMV Playgrounds for more information.

You can also choose between different colours for the court markings, including yellow, white, blue, green and red.

Benefits of netball and basketball equipment

Netball and basketball equipment plays a crucial role in the development and success of sports programs in schools.

Having the right equipment not only ensures the safety of the players but also enhances their skills and overall experience.

It also helps to improve physical fitness, coordination, and teamwork skills among students.

Our netball and basketball equipment is designed to support these developmental aspects, providing a platform for students to excel both on and off the court.
