Grading
Riverlands committee will make a decision regarding JUNIOR grading upon completion of registrations on 28th February 2025. If JUNIOR age groups are required to be graded, players affected will be notified immediately and then grading will be held on weeknight (date to be confirmed) between 5:30pm-7:30pm at Jamison Park. Teams may be selected purely on paper grading which is based on the coaches’ report of each players 2024 winter team performance. Summer Comp/Night Comp is not taken into consideration.
Coaching
An integral part of all netball teams is the coach. Once again in 2025 we will be looking at recruiting coaches for our NetSetGo and Junior teams that do not have returning coaches. Even for some of our younger senior teams who still wish to be coached. If you are interested in coaching or have a friend that is interested, please email us at riverlandsnetball@hotmail.com with your information and we will get back to you.
Umpires
Umpires are an extremely important part of our club identity. Riverlands Netball Club encourage all seniors and players 12 years upward to sit for the Umpires exam. Parents who are non-players are welcome to sit for the umpire’s exam, a chance to learn the rules first hand! Rule books are readily available online, check our website for the link. Umpire exams are now also available on-line, the link for this can also be found on our website. Once you have sat your exam please print off your results and provide a copy for our umpire convenor. If you are interested in umpiring and would like more information, please contact us at riverlandsumpiring@hotmail.com.
As per our by-laws, it is MANDATORY for ALL senior teams registering in the 2025 competition to nominate an appropriately badged umpire to cover the team’s umpiring commitments for the entire season. If an umpire is not provided, team registration may be refused and refunded.

IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFO: Please register into the category in which you are planning to play as that is what your registration fee is. For instance, a person turning 17 this year that is playing in a senior ladies team needs to register under “Seniors” as that is what they will be playing. The same goes for a player turning 8 this year intending to play under 9s, you would register under “Juniors”. If you register into the wrong category we will need to get you to re-register into the correct category. Netball NSW charges based off your age so if you are playing up an age group you will see a slight reduction in your total cost compared to what is listed above. If you are unsure, please contact Carley Stone on 0424 268 796 BEFORE registering to ensure you are in the right category.
That’s it from us for now. Thanks for reading! It’s a lot of information we know but we like to provide it to you now so that you know all the important stuff upfront. If there are any questions, please let us know. We’re looking forward to another great season in 2025. Happy registering!!!
