Weekly training is compulsory for all CLGNC players during the winter season and is held on Monday afternoons / evenings at our home courts : Cnr Princes Parade and York Avenue, Clovelly Park.  Training times for each team will be announced once coaches are confirmed closer to the season start.                                                                       

Age-groups for winter 2025 are based on the player's year of birth as outlined below. Ages are taken as of 31st Dec 2025.

Our club does not hold trials at this stage. Team placement will be based on the coaches feedback forms from the previous season, the player's previous netball history and positions played. Consideration may be given to friendship grouping; in these cases players shall be graded on the ability of the lower division player. If your child would like to play with friends or previous team-mates, you must clearly state this on your registration form, and we will do our best to accommodate your request where possible.

Registration for CLGNC will be done via the PlayHQ platform. 

For those who already have a PlayHQ account please use the same account to register for CLGNC

For those who have not used PlayHQ before, you will need to create an account. For players under 18 the account needs to be set up under the parent’s name and then any other siblings can also be linked to this account.

Payment of fees is required with registration to secure a place in a team. The fees for winter 2025 have been set at $195 per player for both Juniors (8/U-15/U) and Seniors (17/U-Open).

If a player chooses to withdraw their nomination after registration closes (19/1/25) and a refund is requested, an administration fee of $100 will be retained by the club.
