Netball

NX NETBALL UPDATE - MONDAY 23 MARCH

Netball North Harbour have cancelled all Pre-Season Tournaments up until the 2nd May. The Intermediate competition is set to begin the week of 2nd May - with Y7’s on Tuesday and Y8’s on Thursday. This may be postponed further.

Before officially announcing teams, we wish to see all players on the court once again - our ability to do this however will be largely based on how the current situation plays out. While we hope to announce teams before the end of the term, this may not happen. Please note that until teams are finalised, we are unable to inform you of your child’s training day and time.

Please regularly check here for the latest information on teams and the Intermediate Competition.

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.
