Trial Outline:

All trial dates can be found on the Howick Netball Club Website under the "Calendar" tab
By attending trials each player is indicating that they wish to commit to a netball team for the entire netball season. Players must have a valid reason to be removed from a team.
A $50 non-refundable deposit fee 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.
Trials will take place regardless of weather conditions.
All players are to attend a minimum of two trials BUT three is preferable.
A player must give the committee as much notice as possible if they cannot attend a trial/and trials for any reason.
Umpire/s will be provided.
Players who are not on court must wait on the side lines. They may continue to warm up there.
NO PLAYERS ARE TO APPROACH ANY SELECTOR(S), however there will be a committee member available who will be the player's advocate.
Selector's may consult with the upcoming season coaches if required and coach(s) available at selections (this will only be done at the final trial)
Players registering late or after trials will be assessed based on team balance and structure of teams previously decided.
At the discretion of the committee teams may be changed when required due to numbers, personal issues, and skill development.
Team selection is to be finalised within one week of the final trial date if possible.
The selector's decision is final.

Objectives:

To create teams that can be competitive in all grades of the Howick Pakuranga Netball competition.
To allow all netball players to participate in a team similar to their ability. "Within the constraints of having an even distribution of playing positions"

Trial Format:

The allocated trial start time allows for up to 30 minutes for players to sign in, be assigned their number and join the structured warm up. Please be prompt.
We will attempt to trial you in at least two positions you have listed on your registration form (3 preferred positions).
Trialists will be allocated a number; this is written on their legs and/or arms for identification.
There will be either one or two courts running at the same time depending on the year level and numbers.

Juniors Yr 5 - 6 Muster (no trials)

Seniors Grade
Players are to attend their own level trials and be selected for those teams.

Warm up
Fitness
Player combinations
Skills
Coach-ability
Attitude
Leadership
Communication
Team dynamics
Individual player characteristics

Competencies and Qualities Considered:

The major criterion for selection will be based on the performance of the player at the appropriate trial. Selectors will also consider team balance where the 8-9 best individual players may not provide the best team combination. Ideally teams should have a variety of combinations to cover such events as sickness, injury or unavailability during the season.

Core playing competencies:

Skill base and performance consistency
Tactical understanding and decision making
Flair and innovation
Fitness and game intensity
Potential and work ethic
Discipline on and off the court

Core personal qualities:

Effective under pressure
Teamwork
Versatility, consistency and adaptability

Player Withdrawals:

In the event of a player withdrawing after selection; a replacement will be decided with consultation with the selectors, the appropriate coach and Club President.

Non-Attendance at Trials:

Players unable to attend the trials for any reason will have their team selection based on availability of positions within the teams, information provided by the coach at the conclusion of the previous season and thorough consultations with the selectors, the coaches and the Club President.
Non-attendance at any trial MUST be communicated via the appropriate delegate - (Junior/College/Senior)
If a player is unable to attend a trial due to injury or illness - contact the appropriate delegate (Junior/College/Senior)
If a player is unable to attend a trial due to other reasons - contact the appropriate delegate (Junior/College/Senior)

You will find a list of the delegates contact details on the website under the "Committee" tab

Disputes Procedures:

Not with standing any of the provisions in this policy;

It is acknowledged that when applying the criteria and considerations set out above, there will be (at times) extremely difficult choices to be made which will require the selection panel to exercise its discretion and judgment. Providing the selection panel has properly considered the criteria and considerations set out in this policy, and has exercised the discretion and judgement in good faith - then the selection panel will have fulfilled all of its obligations under this policy.

Go "TEAM HOWICK”"

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

2024 Club Trials
You must be registered to trial
For those intending to trial for College 1 and Senior 1 please be aware attendance is mandatory at all trials. This rule must be adhered to as it is not fair to other players if people do not arrive.
