Important information for Parents

Parental involvement

The Club is parent-led, meaning we want you to get involved. You can indicate your interest in helping to coach, umpire, or manage during the registration process.

All coaches and managers are required to hold a current police check which will be orgainsed by the club. 

Some players benefit from a caregiver being present at practice and/or games to ensure there is sufficient support for the team.  Where additional support may be required this will be discussed between the parent/s and the coach - this could be at the beginning of the season, or as the season progresses.

Make up of teams

The Northland School Netball Committee makes decisions about the make up of the teams across the club, based on registrations recieved each year.  Due to the relatively small size of the club, sometimes players may be asked to play up or down from their grade, and in previous years we have had players join with other payers from another school to form a team.  The aim is that everyone who wants to play is able to.

Uniforms

A shirt and skort/shorts is provided and returned at the end of the season to wear for game play on Saturdays. Black long sleeved tops and leggings can be worn under the uniforms or the School hoodie if desired.

Registration Fees

The Northland Netball Club Committee strives to keep registration fees as low as possible. Fees for the 2026 season have increased to reflect additionals hirage costs across the club. Click here to see what the subs cover. Any funds remaining at season end are invested back into the Club for the next season.  Please contact the club at northlandschoolnetball@gmail.com if you need help with registration fees, as we would like to have as many children involved as possible with no financial barriers.

Saturday Games

Years 3-8 play games on Saturday. Seniors play in the morning and year 3s last. Players must wear their uniform to play, have short nails, no earrings or other jewellery, and sturdy shoes.  Earrings can not be taped.  Medic alert bracelets must be taped.

All games are played at Altum Classical Academy (the old Cardinal McKeefry School).  No dogs are allowed during WWN netball games. This includes on the grass.

Duty Days

Northland School is assigned duty days for the season as part our contribution to Wellington Wests Netball. This is a great opportunity for parents unable to help with coaching, umpiring or managing to support for the club and their children.

Information on the actual duties for this day will be communicated when available for the 2026 season. Further information from previous years is available here.

Scorekeeping

Each team must provide a scorekeeper for the game - in 2026 this will move to being done via a scoring app - further information will be provided. It is preferable that both scorekeepers stand together at midcourt during the entire game to supervise the scoring and avoid any disagreements. Each team are responsible for scoring half the game.
