A school for life.
AIMS • Provide a fun and supportive environment for girls to play netball.
• Facilitate the development of skills and encourage the girls to the realise their potential.
• Establish a structure that will provide mentoring systems and develop new teams amongst the Lauriston Girls’ School
community and Lauriston Alumnae.
• Develop and promote a sense of sportsmanship.
Please note that teams in the Under 9 and Under 11 sections, compete in a fixtured competition and do not play finals. For this
reason, we see these sections as a great development opportunity for our players. As such, coaches will be instructed to have
fair game time along with players being rotated through all thirds of the court. i.e. goals, midcourt and defence.
We aim to create a successful future for our club through a strong commitment to skill development for players, provision of a
junior development program and the provision of development opportunities for our coaches’, umpires and officials.
GOALS
Teamwork: To give students a sense of belonging to a team and to instil in them the desire to strive for the
team’s success.
Skill Acquisition: To establish and maintain a standard of technical proficiency unsurpassed by other competing
teams.
Success Driven: To help students achieve their personal bests at Club and GSV Preliminary Competitions.

TEAM SELECTION POLICYLauriston Netball Club will conduct a series of coordinated round robin matches to gain an insight into our playing members
which will form part of the basis for team formation for the following season. We also take into consideration the past seasons
performance, coaches feedback,, team balance, training attendance, attitude and behavior. If a player is new to the club and
can’t attend selection we will speak with previous coaches (if any) and extent of experience if we believe it is relevant.
These selections will be conducted by a panel of selectors. Each selector on the panel selects teams independently based on
selection performance and will write notes on each player. After the trial process, the selectors will come together to discuss
and form teams whereby player feedback from coaches is taken into consideration.
It is strongly expected that parents and students will accept the outcome of selections with respect and grace. This process
isn’t easy for coaches or players but is one that needs to occur. Discussion or debate on results will not be entered into at any
point. If at any point that a player quits on the basis of team selection a refund decision will need to go through the committee.
Re-grading of players may take place prior to Round 3 of the competition during the Association’s re-grading rounds if the
coaches feel this is apprpriate. If unable to attend selections, an email must be sent to the Netball Coordinator at least 24
hours before selections. Selections are important and are a large influencer in the team selection process.
TRAININGWhat to bring:
• With the change in weather, it is expected that all girls come to training wearing tracksuit pants, training top and a rugby
jumper/jacket. Once they have warmed up, girls can remove their track pants and jumper/jacket and train in shorts or
tights. Gloves are a good option for the early mornings.
• Girls will need to bring along a water bottle and some breakfast to have when finished training.
• If you require a EPIPEN or ventolin, please ensure that you have it with you at all times and notify your coach.
