NWC Open Grade (19+) Rep Trial - nominations open

In 2016 the Netball Wellington Centre wishes to select an Open Grade team to represent our Centre in an intra-Zone Invitational Fixtures event to be held on 9th October in Palmerston North.  This will be a short campaign consisting of five weeks of training in the lead up to the event.

This opportunity has been established for the benefit of players aged over 19 years of age as at 1st January 2016 who have not yet been involved in any rep team selection this year at Centre representative, BEKO National League or ANZ Championship level.

In order to name a strong team we seek a pool of talented players to select from. Trials provide a great experience for keep players - we strongly encourage all to put your name forward and give it your best shot.

Please be aware that this event may attract teams from Centres throughout our Central Zone therefore a number of Centres within the Wellington region may be entering their own team.  Players are asked to give priority to trial for their affiliated netball centre or else apply for dispensation in the instance your Centre is not forming a team to release you to trial elsewhere.  Dispensation form available upon request - please email ndo@netballwellington.co.nz.

 

Trial eligibility:
* Aged over 19 years of age as at 1st January 2016.
* Must not have been involved in any rep team selection in 2016 at Centre representative, BEKO National League or ANZ Championship level.
* Players need to be playing for an affiliated school or club team within the Netball Wellington Centre winter competition.  NB: Players must first trial for their affiliated Centre however if your affiliated Centre is unable to field their own team, players from outside Netball Wellington Centre are able to able to trial provided they first gain dispensation. Dispensation forms are available upon request - please email ndo@netballwellington.co.nz..

A team of up to 12 players may be named and a wider training squad may also be named at the discretion of the Lead Coach based on available talent.

One trial date will be held at the ASB Sports Centre, 72 Kemp Street, Kilbirnie in Wellington on the following date:
* Sunday 4th September 9.00am to 12.00pm

Given the limited number of trials we ask trialists to please make every effort to make yourself available to attend in order to allow Selectors the best opportunity to observe you.

Rep Fees:
Individual players will be asked to contribute $100 towards the cost of court hire for trainings and the entry fee for the fixture event.  A reduced rate will apply if named as a wider training squad member.

Inability to attend trial date:
While we strongly recommend that trialists make themselves available to attend the trial, due consideration may be granted to those who indicate their unavailability upon submission of their representative trial nomination form and provide a valid reason in writing for their absence. Please therefore be sure to indicate any absence clearly so as not to unfairly disadvantage yourself.

Before trialing, please be aware of the following information including team training and tournament commitments. All successful trialists must be available to attend.
