GRADING
Grading for intermediate and senior teams will be held on Thursday 7 March 2013. Venue and time will be

nominated in the appropriate divisions for the NCNC competition and also provide the opportunity to match
new players with vacancies in existing teams. Coaches, umpires and players will need to reserve the date.

Training locations are decided once teams are finalised, in consultation with coaches. The Club uses the
primary and high school courts in the district. The CNA courts are also available one evening a week (usually

COACHES/ MANAGERS/UMPIRES/SCORERS
Like many sports, netball relies on volunteers. Our Club looks to parents and senior playing members to assist
as coaches, assistant coaches, managers, umpires and scorers and by attending games to support players.
• All Modified, Junior and Intermediate teams require a coach and umpire.
• Senior teams are to provide a manager and umpire. A coach, although desirable, is not essential.
• Junior, Intermediate and Senior teams need a scorer ever week.
• Players/parents will need to be prepared to contribute towards financial recognition
to reward umpires and encourage their continued involvement.
If you can volunteer for any of these roles please complete an official’s registration form. The Club provides
team kits and assists coaches and umpires with development and support.
