How do I join a team at Attadale Netball Club?
Sign up during the registration period (watch our social media pages for dates), everyone registered will be invited to attend trials for team placements.

If I didn’t manage to register during the registration period, can I still attend trials and try out for a team?
No, registrations are capped when we reach maximum numbers for each team. We can’t accept any unregistered participants at trials.

If I am registered, is there a chance that I will miss out on a team?
No, all registered players (both new and via waitlist offer) will be placed in a team. We only accept the number of registrations that will ensure an appropriate number of players for each team.

If I missed the registration period, how can I get a place on a team?
Contact our Registrar to see if any places are available in your age group. Otherwise you can join our waitlist. More information regarding the waitlist can be found on our Registration page

Can I join my friend’s team?
In general, players at Attadale Netball Club are graded based on ability (with the exception of players turning 7 or 8), so we can’t guarantee that you will be placed in the same team as your friend. However, playing netball is an excellent opportunity to make new friends, and we’re sure that you’ll meet some great new people on your team!

Will I be playing with my school friends?
All teams entered by Clubs, including Attadale, into the Fremantle competition are placed in teams according to a year of birth model, rather than school year. You may have some players on your team in the same year of school as you, and you may have players who are in the year above or below you.

Where does my team train?
All of our teams train at Troy Park, off Burke Drive in Attadale. Click here for a map.

Yes. Excluding some public holidays, unless your coach has canceled training for that week, you must attend training with your team, rain or shine. For general details on training days and times, see our Training & Games page.

Do I have to wear my Club uniform to training?
No. We encourage you to wear clothes appropriate for exercise other than your Club uniform, such as a shirt with shorts or leggings. Please make sure you also bring a water bottle and wear appropriate footwear for physical activity: netball shoes are your best option.

What do I do if my umpire doesn’t arrive on time?
Send someone to the FNA office to call on our Umpiring Coordinator for assistance. If you’re a senior player, check on your scorecard to see which club’s umpire hasn’t arrived, at let the office know this information.

Where do I find my team’s score cards?
Each week, Fremantle Netball Association puts each match’s score card out in a box by the Main Office to be collected. If your team is listed first on the fixtures, you will be the scoring team and need to collect the score card.

What do I do if my match ball dies/timer runs out of battery/bib gets lost?
If you are aware of an equipment problem prior to game day, then email our Property Coordinators for assistance. If the problem arises on game day, seek out a Committee Member to help you; there are invariably many of us around the courts on the day.

I left my uniform at home! What do I do?
Look for a Committee Member to help you out; with luck, you may just be able to borrow one from someone else who plays at a different time. 

Could my game be cancelled due to the weather conditions?
Games are only cancelled in circumstances of dangerous weather conditions, such as nearby lightning or extremely high winds, and this decision is made by FNA on a time slot-to-time slot basis. You can check FNA's Facebook page for the most up-to-date information if the weather is particularly bad, or contact your coach.

Can I tape my earrings to play?
No. All piercings and other jewellery must be removed before taking the court, and taping is not allowed.

I have a medical bracelet, can I wear it when I play?
You are permitted to wear your medical bracelet, as long as it is taped.

I have a hard cast/splint due to an injury, can I wear it when I play?
No. Fremantle Netball Association doesn’t permit players to wear hard casts or splints of any kind when playing, due to the risk to the player with the cast/splint and the other players on court. Soft braces are usually permitted as long as they don’t have sharp edges or hard components. If you are unsure about whether you can wear your injury support gear, please go to the FNA Match Office for guidance.

Are we covered by insurance at training and games?
Yes, once you are registered and fully financial as a player, coach, umpire, or volunteer, you are covered by Netball Australia’s insurance program, including for Personal Accident.

If your child is playing in one of our Junior grades (Set Tier 8U to 15U), then they must wear the skirt/shorts and top. If your child is playing in 16U, 18U or OPENS, then they wear the dress as bibs worn are larger in size. To find out which grade your child is in for the current season, go to our Registration page.

Are there other costs besides the registration fee?
Yes, there are some. You must obtain a Club uniform, and as part of a team you may want to contribute to individual events or activities organised by your team. Some teams like to pool together to give their coach and manager a gift at the end of the season. The end of year Club Windup is, however, covered in your registration fees.

Can I use a KidSport voucher to help with my fees at the Club?
Yes! Check out the KidSport website to find out more on how to apply online. Please let us know at the time of registration if you plan to use a KidSport voucher to assist with your fees.

My son wants to play netball, can he join a team?
Attadale Netball Club accepts registrations for boys from age 7 up to age 12. After age 12, it is not possible at this stage to play in teams at FNA, and therefore we aren’t able to accept such registrations.

Do I have to trial for a team?
Yes. In general, all players must attend the designated weeks of trials for their age group prior to the commencement of the season. Trial details are posted on the Registration page when they become available. The only exception is that all Set Tier players and new-to-the-sport GO G Tier players take part in two sessions introducing them to the sport instead of trial sessions.

I/my child can’t make it to one or more of the trial dates. What do I do?
You should email our Selections Coordinator with the details. Please note that where players are unable to attend any trial dates it may impact the team that they are placed in. Read more about trials on our Registration page.

What grade will I/my child be in?Grades are determined by the year of birth, rather than the school year. In the pre-season, you can find details of the current year's grades on the Registration page. After trials are completed and during the season, it will be available on the Training & Games page.

What is NetSetGO?
NetSetGO is the junior netball program that is run by Netball Australia through the Clubs and Associations. It is separated into three Tiers, with Net recommended for 5 to 6 year olds, Set for 7 to 8 year olds, and GO for 9 to 10 year olds. At Attadale, we accept players aged 7 to 10, and they play in teams with children born in the same calendar year (not in school years). This structure is due to Fremantle Netball Association's competition rules. Fremantle Netball Association typically runs a Net program during the season for players aged 5 to 7.

Who will coach my child's team?
Coaches at Attadale Netball Club are all passionate volunteers. Once coaches have been appointed, teams will be notified. For more information on coaching, check out our Coaching page. 

I want to coach a team/my child's team, can I do this?
We love having new coaches on board at the Club, and take all requests to coach into consideration. Please send your expression of interest to the relevant age group coordinator: Juniors, Intermediates or Seniors

I want to get some coaching training, how can I do this?

How old do you need to be to start umpiring?
At Attadale Netball Club, we accept new umpires who are turning 13 or older in the year that they play. For more information about learning to umpire, check out our Umpiring page.

Who will umpire my child's team?
Umpires for Juniors, 17U, and 19U teams are organised by the Club's Umpiring Coordinator, and will typically be players from other teams at the Club. Umpires may occasionally be provided by Fremantle Netball Association. For more umpiring information, check out our Umpiring page.

How is umpiring managed for Senior (18+) games?
Each Senior team (aside from those teams in the lowest Senior grade) are allocated a game in the division below them each week to umpire. Senior teams at Attadale must arrange their own umpires, and are expected to provide an umpire that is capable of managing the grade that they have been allocated. Read more about umpiring at Attadale Netball Club on our Umpiring page.

How much do I have to contribute to umpiring costs?
If you are a player in a NetSetGO, Juniors, or 17U team (ages 7 to 17) then you have paid your umpiring costs through your fees, and you won’t need to pay anything in addition to this for umpiring. If you are a Seniors player, umpiring is organised a little differently, and it is recommended that you read the Umpiring page to learn more about Seniors umpiring.

I want to learn how to umpire, how can I do this?
If you are new to umpiring, we have the resources to give you all the basic training you need to get started. Check out our Umpiring page for more information on umpiring at the Club, and email our Umpiring Coordinator if you have any further questions.
