Terms and Conditions:
The Cannon Hill District Netball Association is looking for players to join our fun and social netball competitions! Whether you’re part of an existing team, looking to form a new one, or simply want to play as an individual, we have something for everyone.
We offer two exciting social competitions:
- Mixed Social: Geared towards mixed teams and played on Tuesday nights.
- Ladies Social: Designed for female players and played on Wednesday nights.
Dates:
Play netball year-round! We offer two exciting seasons:
- Season 1: Hit the courts from February to June.
- Season 2: Keep the momentum going with games from July to December.
Don’t let rain stop the fun! Catch-up games for wet weather will be played during the first week of school holidays, so you can enjoy a full season of netball.
Registration Fees:
Before hitting the court, all players must be registered with Netball Queensland. You can easily complete this process online at Netball Connect. CHDNA uses Netball Connect for both registration and managing the competition aspects of netball activities.
Game Fees and Payment:
Game fees are confirmed at the start of each season. Teams must pay the game fees upfront in full by the 3rd week of the season. Important Note: Even if a team forfeits a game, they are still responsible for the game fee plus an additional forfeit fee.
Grading:
The first two weeks in the ladies social competition are for grading! Teams play short games to help us place them in fair competition based on skill level. This ensures a fun season for everyone. Grading might also happen in the mixed competition depending on team numbers.
Attendance:
Attendance for games will be done through Netball Connect
Scoring:
Scoring will be transitioning over to Netball Connect for Live Scoring. The team listed first on the draw in considered the “home” team and responsible for scoring.
Single Players:
If you are a single player looking for a team, please click here so that we can find you a team prior to becoming a member!
Bibs:
Teams are responsible for providing their own bibs for games. However, CHDNA offers bib rentals at the clubhouse before your game for a small fee. In cases of a colour clash, CHDNA will provide loaner bibs free of charge in this situation.
Just leave a car key or credit card as a deposit to ensure their safe return.
Finals:
To be eligible to play, all players must be officially registered with your team – no fill-ins allowed. Additionally, players need to have participated in at least 3 games during the season and have their registration fees paid.
Social Media:
Social media is a big part of how we share the fun and excitement of CHDNA netball. Our committee members might be snapping photos or videos around the courts to promote the association. If you or any member of your team has privacy concerns and prefers not to be filmed, please don’t hesitate to email us, and we’ll be happy to exclude your team.
On the flip side, we’d love to see your perspective too! Share your game-day photos and videos using #chdnainc.
Fill In’s and Registered Players:
Need a player to step in for your netball team? Head over to the Facebook page and browse for players who are interested in filling in. The earlier you post your request, the higher the chances of finding someone available.
Keep in mind that players can generally only fill in for teams in their own division or a higher one. Exceptions might be considered with approval from CHDNA executive committee as per by laws.
Remember, all fill-in players need to be registered members of Netball Queensland. If their membership is current, you can easily add them to your team’s attendance list through the Netball Connect app.
Tips for a Smooth Fill-In Process
When searching for a fill-in, be sure to include details like the date, time, court, and division of your game. Additionally, if there’s a specific position you need filled, mention that in your post to help find the perfect player.
By following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to securing a reliable fill-in player for your next netball game!
Please note, fill in players are not excluded from Netball Queensland registration and must be registered before taking the court.
Umpiring
Our dedicated Umpires Convener plays a vital role in ensuring a smooth and fair game experience. They work closely with our umpires throughout the season, providing ongoing mentorship and training to enhance their skills.
For any questions or concerns during the game, the team captain has the opportunity to approach the umpires during designated breaks. However, if the captain feels the situation requires further attention, they can request the presence of the Umpires Convener or an executive committee member for assistance and observation of the remaining game.
This approach allows for a timely and fair resolution while respecting the authority of the on-court officials.
