22nd March 2025 (grading games)
29th March 2025 (grading games)
5th April 2025 ROUND 1
The first 3 weeks are grading games. This is a process where teams are assessed and altered where required, in an effort to make teams as even as possible. This is Coffs Harbour Netball Associations way of making the competition as enjoyable as possible for all players. It is expected that players attend the grading games to help make this process possible. CHNA may request reasons why players have been unable to attend these games.
For more information about games times, please see our Junior Netball page.
TRAINING BEGINS
Start Date: TBC
Training days are Thursday's. Times will be confirmed once teams are allocated to coaches, however they are usually 4.30pm or 5.30pm sessions.
Bare with us during the first few weeks, as we work on putting teams together. Teams will not be finalised until the first round of the competition. Each week during the grading process, we will update you on what training will look like. Whether it will be a combined club training night or if players will be going off in teams. We will also update you on which team your child will be playing in for the Saturday grading games.
HOW THE TEAMS ARE ALLOCATED
-
Your child will have chosen1 friend they really want to play with for the season, as part of the registration. We do everything we can to achieve this. The only exception is Rep players, who we are unable to guarantee their preference due to the constitution requirements for Rep players to be spread out evenly between teams
-
For 12+ teams- Spreading out the shooters, defenders, centre court players, Rep players
-
Evening out the strength of each team
-
Adjusting teams as directed by the CHNA grading committee

SPONSORSHIP
To successfully run our growing club, we rely on Sponsors. We know the true value of Sponsors and ensure it is a two-way relationship. If you own, work for, or know of a business who would be interested in Sponsoring our club, here are our packages.
FUNDRAISING
We are open to ideas, and welcome volunteers who would like to help us run fundraising initiatives. We welcome you to contact us.
COACHES AND TEAM MANAGERS
Our growing club means we need more coaches and team managers. You don't need to be an A grade player!
Our coaches are made up of people who love netball, care about kids, love helping kids with growth, and are supportive.
Our team managers are there to support the coaches and help organise anything the team needs.
If you can help with either of these, please email stnc1@hotmail.com
