Players in Year 4 (2021) and not turning 10 in 2021, must register on the NSG form. However they are likely to be playing U10 Netball on Friday nights, dependent on registration numbers and grading results. (These players may then have the opportunity to repeat U10s in 2022, as playing in the correct age group is of great benefit to them.)

We are urgently seeking a second NSG Convenor to share the volunteer role for 2021. if you are a new or current Yr 2 or Yr 3 parents please consider getting involved in our friendly committee. Please contact wpsnetballclub@gmail.com for more information.

Year 2 (2021) – U8 NetSetGo Team Formation Information

General Information
WPS Netball Club is a parent-run organisation encouraging all WPS students from Grade 2 to Grade 6 to participate in the sport of netball. Boys are welcome to play netball in a mixed team until age 12.

Our teams play in the Northern Suburbs Netball Association (NSNA) winter competition, which runs from the beginning of April until the end of September. For more information regarding Netball, click here to go directly to the NSNA website.

All information regarding the 2021 season will be governed by the current NSW State Government health guidelines in place at the time. Any changes to the season will be communicated ASAP.

All girls under 10 are eligible to participate in a modified rules version of netball, called NetSetGo. The NSG Comp (formerly Nettas) is designed to teach younger players the rules of the game, as well as good sportsmanship and netball skills. NSG is played on SUNDAY mornings.

NSG U8s and U9s are generally not graded and the girls mostly play in friendship teams. NSG matches are played on SUNDAY mornings at either 9am, 10am or 11am at Willoughby Leisure Centre outdoor courts. The competition commences in late March. Match times will be provided by NSNA in mid March 2021.

The top grade(s) of U9s NetSetGo may be played under full netball rules. This is generally for girls in their 3rd year of NSG.

Our U10s, U11s and U12s players, participate in Friday night Netball, from 4.30-7pm at the Willoughby Leisure Centre outdoor courts. Some of the 12s teams may play on Saturday mornings at WLC. This will be determined by NSNA in March 2021. All junior teams are graded. Team selections take place in February 2021 – important details below.

A reminder, all players, parents, coaches, managers, umpires and spectators must abide by the 2021 WPSNC Codes of Conduct

All U10s, U11s and U12s girls registering to play netball for WPS Netball Club will be individually graded and allocated to teams based on their skills and ability. The grading process is independent and is undertaken by graders provided by Northern Suburbs Netball Association.

Coaches and managers from the previous season are also asked to rank and review the players in their teams. The U10s, U11s and U12s teams play in a competition where all Clubs individually grade both their players and teams to ensure all girls are playing in the division which best reflects their capabilities.

Please note, we play in a competition based on calendar-year age groups, not school grade groups. However, as a school Club we are aware that the majority of players prefer to remain with their grade peers. We are unlikely to have teams of mixed year groups, but decisions regarding team formation can only be made when all registrations are received and grading commences.

In registering your daughter to play for WPS Netball Club you agree to accept this grading process and the decision of the Club on team selection.  If you chose to withdraw your daughter from the Club following grading you will forfeit the registration fee.

For NetSetGo, the netball convenors will do their best to ensure that all requests to play with friends are accommodated. All U9s girls who are in Year 3 in 2020 can remain in their friendship teams from 2020. Girls STARTING to play in the NetSetGo comp in Year 3, 2021, will be allocated a team to play with. Friendship groups will be accommodated where possible. 

Important Age Note for 7 year olds (2021): players who commence NetSetGo at age 7 (based on calendar year), may be required to play 3 years of NetSetGo.
