NZ National Champs player commitments
some dates are still to be confirmed, possibility for further dates to be added
Trial Dates:
held at the ASB Sports Centre in Kilbirnie
Tuesday 21st July 2015 from 7.00pm to 9.00pm
Tuesday 28th July 2015 from 7.00pm to 9.00pm
Update as at 14.07.15: originally 3 trial dates proposed however Sunday 26th July removed due to clash with RSL Finals
Given the limited number of trials we ask that you please make every effort to make yourself available to attend both trials in order to allow Selectors the best opportunity to observe you.
Trial eligibility:
Players need to be playing for an affiliated school or club team within the Netball Wellington Centre winter competition.
In accordance with Netball NZ rules, no player is permitted to take part in two consecutive week on week National Domestic events. For the avoidance of doubt, no player can play in the NZ National Champs tournament and the NZSS Championship. Please be mindful of this if considering trialing.
Players from outside Netball Wellington Centre are able to trial if their own netball centre is unable to field their own team. Teams must first trial for their affiliated Centre but can then gain dispensation to trial elsewhere. If affiliated to an outside centre trialists will need to advise their own netball centre that they are trialing to allow the centre to budget to cover your individual costs such as accommodation, meals, recovery food, rental cars, training venue hire, tournament entry fee if you make the team.
Players may self-nominate or coaches/sports coordinators/parents may nominate on behalf of the player with their consent.
If nominating on behalf of someone else, please advise player so they know to attend trials.
Trainings:
Traditionally held on Sunday mornings from 10.00am to 12.00pm and Tuesday evenings from 7.00pm to 9.00pm at the ASB Sports Centre – some flexibility for change possible
