Canterbury Catchball is an exciting new sports club dedicated to the fun and dynamic world of catchball—a fresh take on team sports that’s ideal for adult women who want to build skills, fitness, and community spirit. The club offers engaging sessions for players of all experience levels across the Canterbury region. Whether you’re a sporty person, or a total beginner if you want to try something fun and make friends, Canterbury Catchball brings energy, laughter, and camaraderie to local sport. Join the action and discover why catchball is the next big thing for women’s social sport in New Zealand.
Welcome to Canterbury Catchball
Canterbury Catchball is a small, volunteer-run community group supporting women’s participation in Catchball in the region.
Catchball is team sport similar to volleyball, but easier to play—players catch and throw the ball instead of hitting it. It requires fewer technical and physical skills, making it safe and accessible for adult women across a wide range of fitness levels. It is especially suitable for those whose age, confidence, skill level, or life commitments make other team sports difficult to join.
Catchball also has a strong social focus, creating opportunities for connection and belonging alongside physical activity. Currently, we run three teams: in Lyttelton, Richmond and Papanui.
