2015 - Junior Netball Tryout information
TRYOUTS
Tryouts commence from our 13/U sides with two sides playing on a Saturday and the remaining sides playing Friday night. Whilst we hold tryouts and encourage all players to attend there are some players who just want to play on a Friday night and we understand this.We will be having graded Friday night teams for those who are interested.
There will be one to two teams in each Div depending on interest. You can opt to tryout for one of these teams and attend the two tryout days as listed below and then the skills day.To attend tryouts you must express your interest using the online form.
The online form will be open until Friday 6 Feb. If you are unable to make tryouts (for a very good reason) please email f.greig@bigpond.net.au and we can discuss.

IMPORTANT:
Those trying out for 15/U and 17/U will have a staggered tryout. Players who have previously played in a Saturday Div 1 team in the age group there are trying out for, will be automatically placed in the second round tryouts. We believe this is the fairest way to view all of the players.
Players will be notified via email by the Tuesday following the first round try outs if they are being invited to attend the second round of try outs.
Tryouts will start on time, so players need to make sure they are there a bit earlier to get their names marked off and numbers marked on their legs.
Tryouts will consist of a round robin format so that the coaches and independent selectors can see the players in a game situation.
Registering for Junior TryoutsIf you are interested in attending one of the tryouts please complete the online registration form and you must include three playing positions you will be trying out for.

11/UNDER COMPETITION and TEAMS
11/U teams play Tuesday night and train Thursday night. There are no try outs for this age group. We aim to put players in with one or two school/friends. However it is important the parents and players understand that you are joining St Mary’s Sporting Club and therefore the Club has final say with regard to the make-up of teams and team numbers. If you have a request please do not hesitate to email this to us and we will endeavour to assist.
JUNIOR PLAYER DEVELOPMENT - 11/U and 13/U
Last year we trialled a skills morning to assist players with skill and fitness development. We have decided to hold a few of these early in the season and will be gauging interest via the online expression of interest form that will be released after Club Registration day.
Date: Sunday - 15/3/2015
Registration (Check-in): 9:45am
Skills session: 10am – 12pm
TRAINING
First training for 2015 will be Thursday 19 March 2015. 11/U and 13/U will train for 45 minutes 4-5pm with some teams starting at 4:15pm to suit players and others starting at 4pm. A representative of the club will be onsite from 4pm.
We ask that all girls change into their training clothes in the Football Umpires room rather than the public toilets as this is a purpose built area and far safer.
