Registrations are now open!

• Mapua & Districts Netball Club (MDNC) requires ALL our players and coaches to complete an online registration by Thursday 28th March 2024.
• Registrations: can be done by clicking on the form on the right hand side. This form can be used by all players and coaches. This form includes information that is required to be collected by both our club and Nelson Netball.
• Late registrations: cannot be accepted. 
• Teams: will be finalised once registrations close and coaches will then communicate with their teams. When finalising teams, our priority is always to ensure team numbers are as even as possible
• Training: will begin in week 1 of term 2.
• Club fees have increased very slightly (after no increase for three years). We endeavour to keep the fees as low as posslble by running an easy fundraiser during the netball season. This will be a sausage sizzle & bake stall @ Saxton Field. Further communications will be shared during the season. We do need your support with this fundraiser to keep fees low and be able to upgrade equipment and update uniforms.
• Payment: can be made via the registration form or you can select to pay directly to our account: Mapua & Districts Netball Club: 03-1354-0346409-00
• Prompt payment is appreciated. If you have any queries or would like to discuss payment options, please contact our treasurer via: [email protected].  

 Information for each of the FutureFERNS groups

While we try to provide the details about training days and times, it is very difficult to finalise details until registrations are finalised and we know how many players we have in each age group. We may need to seek additional coaching support and training times may need to get altered from time to time as we work in with our coaches’ other commitments.
