Registration of your teams is through Team Builder in Sporty. For instructions on this and how to register your players, please click here.

Team registration closed 31 March 2023

When selecting the grades to put your teams in, in Team Builder, you will see them on the right of the Team Builder page. Please make sure you select the right age group and location (ie Northcote, Westlake, Glenfield or Hibiscus Coast).

You only need to put down the number of your team - DON'T WRITE YOUR SCHOOL NAME, THAT IS ALREADY AUTO GENERATED! We use numbers for team - NO TEAM NAMES! (Hibiscus is the exception)

Please write your team numbers as follows ... 3/1 (Year 3 Team 1), 6/1 (Year 6 Team 1) and so on.

No need to book, just turn up on one of these days. Handouts given. I will also Zoom if people cannot make it to the Centre. They will need to pick up their handouts at some other date.

Please urge your coaches/managers* to attend these. Topics include rules at NNH, how we run the competitions, what they need to do and the all important rotations for Year 4 and 5.

Hibiscus Coast Coaches/Managers Year 5 & 6 teams are welcome to come to these sessions, in particular, Year 4 & 5 teams to learn the rotations.

I will record the Zoom and both Information evenings will be available via Zoom.

ANZ Futureferns - 1st May at 6.30 pm at Barfoot & Thompson Centre

Coaches information evening. A requirement that all coaches* helping a Year 1 to 3 team regardless of where they are playing, attend this. Bookings will be required and the cost is $10.00 per person. We can invoice schools. You can group book parents by emailing Teresa with the names of the person and the age group they will be coaching. Registration will be required and we will let you know when that is open.

*if coaches/managers cannot attend, please send someone else along to hear and pick up information.

NNH's philosophy for junior players is about participation and learning the game, therefore, we have some rules regarding teams and players:

Please try and stick to the minimum numbers for teams, as there is a rule for every child to play at least half a game each week. With too many players in a team, this becomes difficult for both team management and players alike (if there are too many players we recommend teams stand down a player each week, which isn't fun).
Every player at Primary over the course of the competition, ie 14 weeks, must have fair time on court. That is, the strongest players are not allowed to play full games each week at the expense of the weaker players who only get half games. This is monitored.
Boys - only a maximum of 3 boys are allowed on court at once. You can have more registered in the team, but only 3 on court at once.
Combination age teams - you can enter mixed age teams but only within a year of each other, ie Year 3/4, Year 4/5, Year 5/6. You cannot have a Year 3 in a Year 5 team or a Year 4 in a Year 6 team for health and safety reasons. Combination teams are entered in the grade of the higher age group, ie Year 5/6 goes into the Year 6 grade.
If you have a strong Year 3 team, they can enter the Year 4 grade and likewise if you have a beginner Year 4 team and you think they will be better off with the 5aside game, then you can put them in the Year 3 5aside version of the game, but please let Teresa know.
If your numbers are tight and don't stack up as far as ages and teams, please contact Teresa and I can help you work out where your team will best fit. At the end of the day we want all players to participate at the level that is right for them and exemptions can be given for the odd player playing down, etc, BUT this has to be approved by Netball North Harbour.

Time Requests

Time Requests are to be made by the Primary Coordinators ONLY.

Applications for time request can be made here on the local form completing the required areas . Cost $20.00 per request. Please note these are for NNH netball clashes only and not anything outside of the sport (ie coach/player and umpire clashes within NNH competition). Coaches who have to work late, etc, will not be accepted.

Time Requests to in by Friday, 21st April.

Defaults & Cancellations

Teams/schools need to nofiy Teresa on the day by 12.00 pm if a team is defaulting. This allows us to get the message through to the opposition. I can accept a 1.00 pm default but if it is later, the school will be fined a $50.00 Late Deafult Fee.

Notify Teresa via email (below) of any defaults. Phone calls can work too but please back up in writing. Preferrably from the School Coordinator but happy to get them from parents. If a parent rings with a default I will let the school know.

Cancellations

We vey rarely cancel netball but if we do we will make the decision at 1.00 pm. We will email all the schools and use the website and social media to distribute the message. Please ask parents not ring NNH at 10.00 am in the morning if it is raining!!

The most likey games to be cancelled would be Year 3 games as they are younger and outside. The Year 1 & 2 players are inside. On wet and cold days we are happy for our young players to put jackets and jerseys on as long as bibs can be seen.
