REGISTRATION FOR 2025
Registrations for School Netball open midway through Term 1 and must be completed by the beginning of April. Please register via Qkr!

NETBALL AT WOODEND
School Netball aims to join an enjoyable and challenging competition that fosters players coming together in the sport of netball to represent Woodend Primary School. The purpose is to promote team participation, sportsmanship, create new friendships, and most of all, to have fun!

WHEN ARE WHERE
The school netball season begins in week 2 of term 2 and runs through to the end of term 3. NO GAMES are played during school holidays or week 1 of Term 3, with the second half of the season returning in week 2 of Term 3.

Games are played at approximately 4 pm (subject to changes) on Tuesday afternoons at SUNA, Wilfred Taylor Reserve, Morphett Vale.

AGE RANGE
Boys and Girls can join netball in Years 2 to 6.
*** Boys who commence the competition who are under 12 years of age of the commencement will be permitted to continue in the competition until its conclusion.

Netball teams are defined by the year levels, which can change depending on the number of registration forms received for the season.

Year 2 E Grade (Modified Netball Rules)
Year 3 D Grade (Modified Netball Rules)
Year 4 C Grade (Official Netball Rules)
Year 5 B Grade (Official Netball Rules)
Year 6 A Grade (Official Netball Rules)

Please note: there are NO FINALS for Grades D & E. However, there is one final for 1st and 2nd place in the final week of the School Competition for Grades A, B + C. All other teams will receive the week off and finish their season the week prior.

UNIFORM AND JEWELLERY
The school will supply a Woodend sports shirt as part of the netball uniform. This will be returned and washed in a named bag at the end of the season.

Students must wear navy blue skirts, skorts, shorts, or track pants and appropriate footwear.

All jewellery is to be removed before each game. Studs are not permitted and cannot be taped over. The umpires will ask you to remove these at the game if you have not done so prior.

COACHES AND TRAINING
Each team requires a Coach or Coaches/Team Manager (Volunteer/s).
The coordinator and coaches will set down training days and times at the beginning of the season. If your child cannot attend training, please advise the coach.
raining is held at the school either on the COLA or in the gymnasium, depending on availability with other teams and sports, usually straight after school.

UMPIRES
It is a requirement that we also provide an Umpire for each team that is nominated. Each Umpire will be paid a flat rate of $ 15.00 per match by SUNA. Umpires will also be required to register their details on PlayHQ, including their bank details. Failure to do so means they will not be paid. This is a great opportunity for Year 6 students or older siblings to make some extra pocket money.

WEATHER AND FORFEITS
SUNA will advise the school or coordinator if games are cancelled due to weather or if an opposing school forfeits the upcoming game.

PRESENTATIONS
Each student registrant will receive a trophy for participating in the School Netball competition. Trophy presentations will be left up to each Coach/team to determine the location and availability of their team to hold the presentation.

FURTHER INFORMATION
Our Woodend Netball Facebook page is available to all current families and is used to post updates and further information.
