Wanganui primary netball has its first grading day today, with a new format being introduced this season.
Six teams in each grade from A through to O play a round-robin of five games, with the top team moving up a grade and the bottom going down a grade.
After that
is another series of round-robin matches, then a semifinal and final in each grade. The idea is have more even matches with teams closer in ability playing each other.
Primary convenor Kim Flower said last weekend's opening day had gone well.
"Support on the sideline from spectators has been excellent," she said.
