23/01/2024

Welcome to Howick Netball Club 2024 Season

We are super excited to see so many registrations coming through.

Haven't registered yet….you have time….head to our website http://www.howicknetball.org.nz and use the 2024 player registration tab.

Fees
Fees this year for Junior and College grades have had a minimal increase, with Senior players receiving a drop in prices. These increases reflect the changes in fees the club are issued by Howick Pakuranga Netball Centre and Netball Northern Association.

As a club, we have absorbed these fee increases for the past few seasons but are unable to manage that for 2024.  The drop in senior fees is to align them with the other grades, as this has been disproportionate for many years, and something the Howick Netball Club has advocated for.   We have also introduced a new option for those seniors wishing to play social netball.  These teams will not train which allows us to reduce the overall cost of their fees to $245   

This season we are introducing a $50 non-refundable deposit fee, which must be paid before trials to secure a spot in an HNC team.  This will be deducted from the player's fees if they join a team. If your fees are paid in full before trials the deposit does not relate.  All fees MUST be paid before players are placed into a team. Any questions regarding payment of fees & payment plans can be directed to the club treasurer Justine Ross at howicknetballmoney@gmail.com
