Under 18 Men's Representative Information

Netball Hutt Valley have an aspiration to provide opportunities to players, coaches, managers & selectors within our community. 

Team Management 2024

Annually we provide development & representative offerings for our community to participate in local & national tournaments. 

Trial eligibility players must be under the age of 18 at 1 January 2024. Players must also be registered to a NHV affiliate (Club/School). 

Trials

Players are required to attend all trials, unless dispensation has been confirmed with the Community Development Officer. 

Please ensure you select the correct positions on your registration form as it is very hard to make changes on the day and we cannot guarantee you will get a run in your preferred position if you change on the day. If there is an overload in certain positions i.e. midcourt some players may be asked to play in additional positions. We will endeavour to ensure all players have the opportunity to play in their preferred position(s) for a minimum of three games per trial. 

Expressions of Interest will close on Friday 23rd February 2024.

Trial registrations will close on Friday 19th April 2024. 

Trial Dates 

Are to be confirmed shortly.

Trainings

Training sessions will be held up to two hours, once or twice per week in consultation with club/school teams to ensure player loads remain balanced to avoid burnout and injury. A training schedule will be released to all players in due course. If you cannot make training it is expected you notify your coach/manager at the earliest time possible. 

All under 18 representative players, parents & caregivers must attend the NHV whānau day scheduled for Sunday 19 May 11.30am - 2pm. 

Tournaments

Players selected must be available to attend the following tournaments. If you are unable to attend one-off tournaments please advise as soon as possibe to aid in our planning.
