Selection and
Grading
• Selections are held from Years 4 to 9. Any student wanting to play netball will be
selected in a team.
• Selections are held each year in early February.
• Some changes to teams will occur at the start of Season 2 (spring fling) due to
the addition or withdrawal of players and at the discretion at the Netball
Coordinator.
• A selection panel, which includes the Netball Coordinator, will select the teams.
• Team selection is based on netball ability, team balance and performance at
the selection clinics.
• Teams are not selected based on existing friendship groups.
Teams
Each team will consist of nine to eleven players who will share equal court time
during the season. The only time this will not occur is if a player misses a game due
to her own choice. Team selection for the finals is at the discretion of the coach.
Player
Commitment
Attendance at all training sessions and matches is compulsory unless the player or
parent notifies the coach or Netball Coordinator. Students must notify their coach or
Netball Coordinator in person, by phone or email. Messages from friends will not be
accepted.
Failure to notify the coach or the Netball Coordinator in advance of non-attendance
at training or a match may mean that the player will sit out for the first half of the
following match.Junior Netball (Years 4 to 6) The focus for this age group is exploring netball and developing fundamental movement, passing, attacking and defensive skills. Players will be given the opportunity to try all positions on the court. Rotation may seem confusing for the first few weeks but they are a key aspect of a netball player’s development. It allows players to develop knowledge and skills in all positions before specialising in one position or area of the court. This is necessary to allow for the changing and variable growth patterns of young players. Some players may undergo rapid growth at an early age, yet by 12 or 13, are no longer the tallest or shortest. If players have only been given the opportunity to play one or two positions, it restricts their development and ultimately limits their participation and enjoyment. Thoughts for adults: • Young people participate for pleasure and winning is only part of the fun • All players need the same opportunities to play and develop their skills • Children learn best with positive reinforcement and specific, constructive feedback • Focus on the performance of the skill rather than the result of the game • Children learn by taking risks and making mistakes. Encourage and support this, as it is necessary and an important part of learning • Allow children time to develop an understanding of the game.
Matches Players are to arrive at the courts 20 minutes prior to their match commencement time. This is important so players can warm up correctly and receive instructions from the coach. Sections where participants are secondary school age and over, teams may play with ‘modified mixed’ rules as per NV Infonet A5. Teams may have up to three boys playing at any one time. If three boys are on the court at any one time, they must play in separate thirds of the court – (GK/GD – WD/C/WA – GA/GS). The Boroondara Association states that where participants are primary school age, boys participate unrestricted. Players must adhere to the BNA rules regarding uniform requirements, nail length and jewellery. These requirements can be found on the Boroondara Netball Association website: www.bna.org.au. Uniform All players must wear the correct Genazzano PE and competition uniforms at all times. In 2021 we are introducing a new netball dress. Any student from Years 7 to 12 playing Saturday netball or GSV netball will need to purchase a dress from Bob Stewart, Kew. Years 4 to 6 Genazzano sports uniform Junior (Year 7/8) Genazzano Netball dress. Intermediate (Year 9/10) Genazzano Netball dress. Seniors (Year 11/12) Genazzano Netball dress. Players and student coaches must only wear the Genazzano sports uniform to netball on a Saturday.
Training Training is compulsory for all Year 4 to Year 9 players. Sessions will be held at the Genazzano Netball courts either before school, lunchtime or after school. The time will be organised by the Netball Coordinator and distributed to each student at the start of the season. Please notify your coach if you cannot attend training. It is recommended that all students wear appropriate netball footwear. Coach and Player Contact During Matches Parents are welcome to discuss the progress of their daughters with the Netball Coordinator. Parents are asked to avoid speaking to the coach during the pre-game warm up, during the match or at the quarter time breaks. The coach must focus on coaching the team. Distractions, however well intentioned, impact on the team. Annual Fees Genazzano Saturday Netball is subsidised by Genazzano FCJ College. All players are required to pay an annual registration fee. The College will manage the annual fee and state memberships via NetballConnect. Fees cover the following: • Boroondara Netball Association competition fees, team entry • Netball Victoria registration which includes player insurance • Coach payments and development • Equipment including bibs and balls • Umpire payments and umpire development. Refunds will only be given within two weeks of the new season upon written notification to the Netball Coordinator.

good play by all players.

coaches and umpires. They give up their time and resources to provide

Our membership with SSV allows access to state level competitions for students, e.g. State trials for netball. New Zealand Netball Tour The College offers a Netball Tour to New Zealand every two years and was first conducted in 2014. The tour provides a unique opportunity to travel overseas with a group of like-minded sportswomen and experience all that New Zealand has to offer both on and off the netball court. The tour group will be involved in a 6-month preparation program with the focus on a S & C program, netball skills, personal and team values, match strategy and tactics. Students in Years 11 and 12 are eligible to apply for the tour.
