Trial Process

All players must trial within their age group first.  A player may be invited to trial at a higher level (after trialling in their age group) based on ability and at the discretion of the selectors, coach and with the approval of the Representative Committee.

Triallists must attend all trials to be eligible for selection unless dispensation has been given in advance by the Representative Committee (email: centremanager@hpnc.org.nz).

Trialists who are injured prior to trials, or become injured during trials, must be seen by an appropriately qualified medical professional and produce a medical certificate to the Representative Convenor including diagnosis and prognosis of the injury in order to be considered for final selection.

Injured triallists must still attend all trials, even if they are unable to take the court.

Players who do not attend the first trial without dispensation will be ineligible for the second trial.

At the first trial, all players must confirm their details including preferred positions.

Players will be given the opportunity to trial in their first position, and second position if possible.

All players not recalled for a second trial will have played at least twice, and at least once in their preferred position.

All applications must be completed by the trial registration closing date (Monday 28th April 2025).

After the closing date, only the Representative Convenors, with approval from the Representative Subcommittee, may add players to the trial registration list.

Fees for the 2025 Representative Season will be as follows:

Represeentative fees for all players is $230 for the season.  This will include a hoodie. This price may change if we are successful in secruing a sponsor.

A uniform bond of $100 is also required.  This will be refunded when the uniform is returned clean and in good condition at the end of the season. The uniform bond must be paid in full before a uniform will be allocated.

Local tournament fee needs to be paid by Friday 23^rd May. Balance of fees MUST be paid in full by 23rd June, unless prior arrangement has been made with HPNC Centre Manager.  All and any outstanding fees from the 2024 season must be paid in full before player is able to trial for 2025.

This year we have a "No Pay, No Play" policy, this means if fees are not settled in full by 23rd June, unless prior arrangement has been made, players will be withdrawn from the HPNC Representative program and will not be able to continue training, playing or traveling with their respective team.
