2.GRADING DAYS

ATTENDANCE IS COMPULSORY. If you cannot attend your age group please contact us so we can arrange for you to attend another day. Note no money, forms, uniform processing occurs at grading - it is just for team selections and grading into divisions. For more information on grading policy etc please go to Registration page. 

A "WET WEATHER"notice will be published here if it is raining and we postpone/re-schedule any grading session.

**Any young umpires wanting some practice before the season starts are welcome to umpire at the grading sessions. Please email or text message 0419 291 836 if you are interested.

NOTE REGARDING 10s GRADING SESSION

We would like to thank the players and their parents for their patience during the long first grading session. There were 100 players to get on the court to make an initial assessment so we can prepare to do final team selections next Tuesday. We have a policy of accepting all standards of players and try to cater for the novice or purely social players through to the potentially talented players. There were a wide range of skills, co-ordination and physical development on display this afternoon so hopefully most parents can now see the need for grading. We did however note that some parents were not happy and disagreed with the process of grading.  For any of you that are not satisfied with our club grading policy or would prefer to move to a smaller club we can arrange for your RRNC registration to be refunded in full immediately with no administrative cost deducted. Once teams are processed we will impose a $20.00 administrative fee for any withdrawals and any deletions after March 3 will incur a greater deduction as this is the close off date for RNA. You can register with another club. Alternatively if you have a full team you can register with Randwick Netball Association as a new club (name it what you like) and run it your own way. All you will need to do is organise a uniform (get colours approved by RNA), get an umpire and your club representative has to attend RNA Council Meetings (once a month). Teams have to be registered with RNA on 3 March 2012.

 Our second grading session for 10 year olds will be 4pm next Tuesday 14 February. All players are expected to attend this session (unless you have made other arrangements with the selectors). If you intend withdrawing from our club please arrange to do so before then. Any enquiries please contact Narelle Brown, Secretary RRNC :  or to arrange a refund contact Leonie Mee, Treasurer :

3.PROCESS AFTER GRADING DAYS ARE COMPLETED

Once teams are selected, coaches will be appointed - hopefully there will be enough volunteers. The coach will contact the players in the team and arrange a suitable training day/time. It can take a while to process all registrations and grade all teams but you should expect to be contacted by the end of February.

If no-one volunteers to coach your daughter's team then we will try to find a coach from our players and other parents - you may be have a teenage coach volunteer and we would expect some assistance from the team parents. If this does not result in a coach for the team we will ask parents in the team to consider coaching again (with training of course) and if this is not workable you will be given the option of receiving a refund prior to the start of the season.

Coaches will select a training day/time that suits their schedule and best fits the majority of players. If players have other activities they may have to be re-scheduled.
