NETBALL COORDINATOR
Michelle Gabrisch - Email: michelle.gabrisch115@schools.sa.edu.au
COACHES & TEAM MANAGERS
Note: Each team requires a coach and team manager, usually a volunteer parent. Please consider volunteering for one of these positions. If a team does not have a coach or team manager, that team will not be able to participate in the netball season.
Subject to availability, a coach may be outsourced. If this occurs, an additional coach's fee will be payable at the end of the term: $15 for each coached session and $10 for each game on the weekend.
TEAM SIZES & PLAYERS
Please ensure that all forms are returned prior to the due date, this not only helps ensure your child has place on a team, but also allows for the coordinator to ensure team sizes are not too large and allows more game time for your child. There will be no preference to placement; this is a great way to learn invaluable teamwork skills and meet new people.
