What is NetSetGo? Woolworths NetSetGO is Netball Australia's only junior entry netball program. It provides children from 5 to 9 years with a positive introduction to netball, incorporating skill activities, minor games and modified matches. The Essendon Netball Club program incorporates activities to enhance player’s netball skills and an understanding of the game in a fun and safe environment. The SET & GO tiers put those skills into practice in a modified rules game on Saturdays.
