welcome
Welcome to the Newborough Netball Club.
We are delighted your child is interested in playing netball. Netball is a fantastic team sport for both boys and girls. It's good for overall fitness, team building, strength and balance, endurance, resilience and so much more!
At Newborough we have a long history of being a very successful and proud Club. We represent Newborough Primary School with passion and great sportsmanship.
If this is your first time considering netball, or you're a seasoned player or parent, we ask you please read all the information. Click the links below (or for mobile users, the menu above) to fast track to each page or go straight to the EOI to register.
About
Newborough Netball Club participates in Net Set Go - the Australian national program for school-aged netballers; as well as the Junior Competition at Perth Netball Association (PNA).
WOOLWORTHS NET SET GO
NSG has modified rules (smaller balls & goals, relaxed rules etc). The program is divided as follows:
NET - Pre-Primary & Year 1 - this is a skills only program with no competition (more information on this program will be released in week 4)
SET - Year 2 & 3 - training for skills development & competition against other schools / clubs
GO - Year 4 & 5 * - training for skills development & competition against other schools / clubs
JUNIOR COMPETITION
Year 6 players & experienced year 5 *players will progress to Juniors after NSG. This competition plays with full rules and full height goals and larger balls.
*year 5 players may play in either the junior competition or NSG depending on skill level, team availability and experience. This is determined by the Club Coordinator.
TRAINING
Every team trains once per week.
Training is held at school from 3 to 4pm (2:30 - 3:30pm Tuesday).
Training is compulsory.
As there are typically 6-7 Newborough teams and only two courts, the training schedule is determined by the Club Coordinator, taking into account coach availability.
COMPETITON GAMES (Year 2 and above)
The Year 2/3 and the Year 4/5 competitions are held on THURSDAY or FRIDAY afternoon (4:10pm, 5:10pm or 6pm) at Matthews Netball Centre in Jolimont.
Junior Year 5 & 6 competition is held on SATURDAY morning at 8am or 9am

Gilbert Netball Shorts are to be worn under Newborough Netball dress. They can be purchased from the Club for $23 or from your local sports store.
COACHING & TEAM mANAGER
Every team needs three parents to take on the job of coach, assistant coach and team manager.
GRADING & TEAMS
If team numbers for players in year 4, 5 & 6 require it, grading will be held after school on Tuesday or Wednesday in early February to determine team allocations.
Players in year 2 & 3 will be allocated a team based on coach availability and numbers. Mixed 2/3; 4/5 and 5/6 teams are common - especially in schools of our size.
ALL PLEASE NOTE:
Every effort will be made to place all children in a team. However, occasionally we receive too few, or too many nominations and are unable to accommodate everyone (for example if we receive 12 requests in a year group which isn't enough for two teams, but is too many for one team).
Hence, please complete your EOI as early as possible (no payment is required at this stage) so we know how many children we need to accommodate. Priority for placement is based on date of application and returning players.
