Read the grading guides before the night

Two short booklets that explain how pregrading and formal grading work. One is written for players, one for parents. Worth reading together before Thursday 15 October.

For players

Player Guide

What happens on the night, what the coaches are watching for and how to get ready in the weeks before.

For parents

Parent Guide

How teams are formed, what the club decides and what PNA decides, and answers to the questions we hear most often.

What to bring

For your player

A water bottle, and clothes she can move in. Every player has a number written on her calf when she arrives, so shorts work best. Netball shoes if she has them, sneakers are completely fine if she does not. No uniform needed.

For parents

There is plenty of room courtside and committee members will be there in club shirts. Come and find us. This is a good night to ask the awkward questions about fees, training nights and what Saturdays actually look like.

A first look, not a commitment

Three things worth knowing before you come.

Turning up signs you up for nothing

Coming to pregrading does not commit your player to the 2027 season, or to any fee. You can walk away at the end of the night and that is completely fine.

This is not the final grading

Formal grading happens in early 2027 across three mandatory sessions. Nobody leaves on 15 October already sorted into a team.

There is no trial to pass

We are the only community netball club in the City of Vincent and we take every player who wants a game, as long as we have the numbers to make a team. No experience needed.

Questions we get asked

If yours is not here, get in touch and we will answer it properly.

She has never played netball. Is this really for her?

Yes, and she will not be the only one. Every year players turn up having never played a game. Nothing on the night assumes you know the rules, and there are coaches on hand to help.

None of her friends are coming

Our players come from North Perth, Kyilla, Mount Lawley, Mercedes, Saint George's, Aranmore and a dozen other schools, which means most teams are made up of girls who did not know each other in January. Changing schools does not have to mean losing your netball team.

What if we cannot make it on the night?

Fill in an expression of interest and we will be in touch. We would still rather know she is keen for 2027, because the numbers we gather in October decide how many teams we enter and how many coaches we go looking for.

Can she come if she plays for a school team as well?

Plenty of our players do both. Club netball runs on Saturdays through the winter season, with one training night a week at Robertson Park.

How long will we be there?

Years 7 and 8 finish at 6:15 pm. Years 9 to 12 finish at 8:00 pm. Parents are welcome to stay courtside or come back at the end, whichever suits your evening.

What happens after pregrading?

We work out our team numbers over summer and come back to you in early 2027 with formal grading dates and season details. You are under no obligation at any point before you register for the season itself.

Come and have a go

Register before Friday 9 October so we know she is coming and we are ready for her on the night.

Registrations have closed, but if your player would still like to come along, get in touch and we will do our best to fit her in.
