Uniform

Playing uniform will be issued prior to the grading day of competition. This is either a netball dress or a skirt and top.  It is expected that this will be kept in good condition and returned clean to the team manager at the end of the season. Players must wear the correct uniform, including white ankle socks and no visable tops or tights under the uniform. You may wear black sport shorts under your skirt/dress as long as they cannot be seen. Hair is to be tied up off your face. All jewellery is to be removed, including tounge and belly button rings/studs. A medical alert braclet is permitted to remain on while playing.

Transport

As the weekly competition is in Alexandra, it is the responsibility of parents/caregivers to transport their child to the games each saturday. Please contact your team manager if you are having trouble getting your child to a game.

Practices

Team managers and/or the coaches will inform players exactly when they have practices. Practices are held at Cromwell College. All players are expected to attend all of their team practices. If a player can't attend their practice for a legitimate reason, it is their responsibility to contact the coach or manager prior to the practice starting.
