What is on this term

We will be joining Celebrate Bishopdale 2026, and we'll have our own outdoor court where people can give Catchball a go!

Never heard of Catchball? It's a fun, social team sport that combines elements of volleyball and netball. We have three adult women's teams in Christchurch, and beginners are always welcome!

Come along, jump on the court, meet some of our players and discover why we enjoy this sport so much!

 Saturday 21 November

 Bishopdale Park, Harewood Road, Christchurch

 Free event!

There will also be live entertainment, food stalls and plenty of family-friendly activities.

Bring your friends and family, enjoy a great community day and stop by our court to say hello!

See you there! 

First New Zealand Catchball Nationals – An Unforgettable Weekend!

The first New Zealand Catchball Nationals took place in Christchurch on 16–18 October 2026, bringing together teams for three incredible days of sport, camaraderie, fun and social activities!

Congratulations to Nelson, who won gold in both divisions, and to our Papanui team, who proudly took home the silver medals in the Social Division!

Beyond the competition, the weekend was a wonderful opportunity for players from different teams and regions to connect, share experiences, learn from one another and build friendships.

The spirit of friendship, respect and inclusiveness was outstanding, both on and off the court. It was a fantastic celebration of everything that makes Catchball special.

A huge thank you to Catchball NZ for organising this milestone event, and to all the players, volunteers and supporters who made it such a memorable experience.

Three days of Catchball, new friendships and wonderful memories!

Check this great recap video made by Monique from Nelson.

On Sunday 13 December, we’ll celebrate the end of the year with a Christmas picnic and outdoor games! Players from all our teams and their families are invited to get together, share some yummy food and enjoy a few games in the park.

It’s a chance to spend time together off the court and celebrate another year of Catchball. More details, including the date, time and location, will be shared soon!
