Netball

Hello fellow netballers, my name is Ms Jo Gocher and I am Santa’s new Netball Coordinator and Sport Administrator. I am honoured to be stepping into Ms Avellino’s shoes and can’t wait to meet you all on court.

It feels like the 2022 winter season just finished but we are already preparing for the year ahead. As you know we rely heavily on our volunteers to ensure that every team has a coach and that we have enough umpires to cover all of our games.

I would therefore, like to promote the Pathway for Coaches and Umpires and encourage you all to consider developing your skills and knowledge and volunteering for these sometimes challenging but rewarding roles. Note: Umpires are paid, once accredited.

Information regarding registrations for 2023 will be distributed when available from ERNA and trials for Year groups will occur in Term 1 2023. However, we will be sending out an Expression of Interest to all players turning 14, 15, 16, 17  or 18 next year to trial for the College’s first team. The team will most likely be placed in the senior division of the ERNA competition as this is a requirement for any player turning 18 in the year of play.

Depending on the level of interest, we may consider selecting our top cadet team at the same time.  Cadets can be a maximum of 17 years of age, in the year of play. 

Remaining teams will be selected in their respective Year groups.

I will hold a netball shooting clinic towards the end of term which will be open to any student wanting to give shooting a go or if they would like to improve their technique. These sessions will be held at lunchtime in Year groups, so keep an eye out for the flyer.

Go Nat, Go Swifts
