Netball Registrations 2023

It is imperative that all students who wish to play (either socially or competitively) are registered online.

All trials will be held in the Gymnasium at Aquinas College.  Please ensure you come dressed appropriately in PE gear or an alternative, netball shoes and snacks.  A filled water bottle, nails cut back and jewellery removed before starting.

It is in the best interest of the students that they attend both trial days if possible, with a minimum attendance to at least one trial day. To allow our Netball Selectors to do their job effectively, we ask that parents do not enter the gymnasium during trials.

Students will once again have the opportunity to submit their own team of 10 players for social netball. Note: This eliminates them from our school trials/grading only.  All other fees apply. Alternatively if girls do not have others for a team please tick box on your registration and we will place you depending on availability.

Please follow this link if you would like to view our Netball Selection Procedure.

Team Announcements

Team lists will be emailed home after 3.30pm and then posted on the Sports Notice Board outside the main entrance to the gym and on the school website once decided after trials. Selectors reserve the right to name squads rather than teams and players will then attend training the following week so that teams can be announced after this. These times will be determined by the coaches according to their availability.

The date on Team Announcements will be released mid Term 1.
