Coaches & Team Managers

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 a place on a team, but also allows 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.

Hot Weather Policy

Coaches are responsible for contacting the players. If coaches are unable to cancel practices at short notice, they will retain responsibility for supervising the players until they have been collected or can dismiss them at the usual time and in the prearranged manner if parents have been advised of the earlier dismissal.

Parents are encouraged to monitor the weather conditions and have children collected early if the weather makes it impossible to practise.
