NX NETBALL DRAW & UMPIRE ROSTER

NO NETBALL GAMES THIS WEEK: 7 SEPT - 11 SEPT

NX NETBALL TEAMS 2020

The NX Netball teams for 2020 are listed below.

As always, we go through a very thorough selection process to finalise our teams and players have been placed in a team that our selectors have determined best suits their ability and experience.

There has been some movement of players, both up and down teams - it is important to remember that this movement can be a result of the following factors:

The position your child plays. As we can’t have a team made up of all mid-courters (for example), some stronger players may be named in teams that are of a lower ability. This is a direct result of the number of players who play that position.
New players who didn’t play last year can also create movement for other players, especially if they are placed in a higher team, resulting in other players moving down to a lower team.
Individual development and growth over the summer (and lockdown) months. If individual players have put in an extra effort and completed further training over the past few months, this can definitely show during trials, resulting in higher performance on the court and some movement between teams.

We understand that some students will have questions regarding the trial process and eventually the team selection – if your child does, please ask them to see me.

As per our Sports Selection Policy, no correspondence regarding team selection will be entered into. If you wish to view it, please refer to our school website.

NORTHCROSS INTERMEDIATE NETBALL 2020

Fees Girls and Boys $170.00

To register your child for Netball this year, you will need to go to the NX Online Shop (you can find the link on the Northcross Website). A $50 deposit will be required with registration. Once teams have been formed, the balance will be loaded onto your child’s account and will be required to be paid in full (via the NX Online Shop) by the end of Term 2. This deposit is non-refundable. Registrations close on Wednesday 12 February - 3pm.

Trials

All students who register, will be placed in a team, however in order to ensure your child has been placed in the team that is right for them, trials will take place. The trials will be held at Northcross during the school day, the players being released periodically from their classes when called. Although we appreciate the support from parents, due to the format of the trials it is advised that parents do not attend.

Trials will take place on Friday 14 February (Year 8’s) & Friday 21 February (Year 7’s) from 9am – 3pm; Friday 28 February will be used as a Callback day from 9am - 3pm.

Coaches, Managers and Umpires

Each team will need a coach and manager. If we cannot get enough coaches we will have to reduce the number of teams and unfortunately some children will miss out on playing. If you are interested in being a coach or manager for Netball, please indicate this on registration.

All Coaches and Managers are required to be police vetted by Northcross. If you are keen to take on one of these roles and have not yet been police vetted by our school, please email sport(at)northcross.school.nz and we will send you through the relevant forms to fill out.

Netball North Harbour will be holding Coaching Courses for those who wish to attend. Please see their website for further details regarding this.

If you have any questions or queries regarding Northcross Netball, please feel free to email sport(at)northcross.school.nz

Thank you for your support in netball. We look forward to another successful season for Northcross Intermediate School.
