Where do our fees go?

Pakuranga United Netball Club (PUNC) pays many and varied fees which are all included in a once off payment at the beginning of the season. A significant amount of player fees go to Howick Pakuranga Netball Centre (HPNC) which includes the Northern Zone Levy and NNZ Affiliation. 


The remaining part of the fees contribute to court bookings, new equipment, trophies and awards, netball clinics for coaches and umpires, court lighting and administration costs. 


Each season throughout the year, PUNC also hold different types of fundraisers ranging from BBQ's, tournaments and quiz nights where all contributions go towards our coach and umpire development as well as our end-of-year club prizegivings. 


As a club it is important we do this as a collective by having support from all our players and families.
