In 2016 we hope to attract a large pool of talented players from which to select one strong U19 team.  We encourage all eligible Senior A & B school team members along with any Premier & Premier Reserve level netballers who have since left school and feel they possess the appropriate skill level and attitude to put your name forward and give it your best shot.

Trials are held at the ASB Sports Centre, 72 Kemp Street, Kilbirnie in Wellington on the following two dates:
* Tuesday 3rd May 2016 from 6.00pm - 8.00pm
* Sunday 8th May 2016 from 10.00am - 12.00pm
All trials are held at the ASB Sports Centre, 72 Kemp Street, Kilbirnie, Wellington.

Trial eligibility:
* Trialists must be aged under 19 years of age as at 1st January 2016.
* Trialists must currently be registered to play for an affiliated school or club team within the 2016 Netball Wellington Centre Winter Competition played at the ASB Sports Centre in Kilbirnie.

Dispensation:
Trialists are expected to trial for their current affiliated netball centre first and foremost.  If your Centre is not intending to select their own U19 rep team you are able to trial for another Centre provided you are first granted dispensation.  If wishing to request dispensation to be released to trial elsewhere you should approach your affiliated Centre to request a dispensation form.  Your Centre should then work with you to complete the necessary paperwork and provide a copy on your behalf to Netball Wellington Centre via email to gm@netballwellington.co.nz.

Inability to attend all trial dates:
We strongly recommend that trialists make every effort to make themselves available to attend BOTH trial dates in order to receive a fair trial.
Due consideration may be granted to those who indicate their unavailability upon submission of their representative trial nomination form upon provision of a valid reason for absence. Please therefore be sure to indicate any absences clearly using the NOTES field below so as not to unfairly disadvantage yourself.  In special circumstances a dispensation may be granted to those who provide a valid reason - please enquire via email to ndo@netballwellington.co.nz.
