COMPETITION COMMENCES

Please note: all game times and days are subject to change by College Sport and draws can be found on
the Netball North Harbour Website http://www.netballnorthharbour.co.nz/

IMPORTANT - Coaches and Managers needed

We ask that any parent or adult who is interested in coaching or managing a team this year, please get in touch with the Sports Department or with Rebekah Te Hau (contact details at bottom).
Any team without a coach or manager will unfortunately not be able to be entered the team into the competition.

Uniforms

All teams will be wearing a navy blue dress. These are issued through the Sports Office prior to the start
of the season and must be returned at the end of the season. A small hireage fee will be included in the
Netball Fee, and if the uniforms are not returned the students will be charged for them.

All girls must wear appropriate underwear; a sports bra and proper netball “knickers” in black or if
available the same blue as their netball uniform. No bikini underwear, g-strings or bike pants are to be
worn. There are also to be no bra straps showing. Socks must be white and ankle length or shorter. It is
important that all players wear appropriate netball shoes for all games and practices.

It is not acceptable to wear a singlet/tee shirt underneath your uniform if it can be seen. If a player is
required to wear long sleeves or leggings under their dress, the sports office needs to be notified before
the start of the season so we can apply for special compensation from Netball North Harbour. As players
are representing the school it is important that they are always tidy.

Uniform Care

We would like to ensure that the new uniforms last and continue to look tidy. Please make sure that
dresses are looked after across the season. If there is damage to a dress there may be a charge to
replace it. Dresses need to be washed inside out and then hung on a coat hanger to dry. Dresses are not
to be dried in a clothes dryer.

Team Requirements

All teams must have:                 

1. A coach and practice at least once a week.
2. An adult manager (parent of a player) if the coach is a student.
3. A set of team bibs (provided)
4. A set of balls and cones etc including an appropriate game ball (provided)
5. An umpire for each game (allocated each week)

WE NEED PARENTS TO BE TEAM MANAGERS
If you would like to support your student please contact the Sports Office sports@northcote.school.nz
All teams need an adult manager to support the student coaches. This would mean contacting players
before games and trainings to ensure that all players will be there and on time and liaising with parents
and coaches. If you are able, picking up players who may need a ride to the games. All managers must
be present at the games for supervision to collect score cards and score games. Team Cards are to be
picked up before the game and returned after to the downstairs control room.
It is a Netball North Harbour rule that teams must have a manager attending games. This person is to
complete the score sheet before and after the game where needed, be aware of any medical
conditions of players in the team, implement rules of the competition and supervise the players.
Please ensure you fill out the form on the attached sheet (whether you can assist or not).
