REGISTER TO PLAY
Online registration opens January the year the competition commences.
Emails, Facebook and Instagram notices are utilised to notify members of online registration opening dates. Beetles Netball Club are not accountable for members not receiving any notices sent. It is the responsibility of the player and parent to register in time. New and returning players are encouraged to 'Like' our Facebook page - Beetles Netball Club - to receive advice on registrations for the next season.
A player’s age as at 31 December in the current year determines the lowest age group in which the player may play. Players may be permitted to play outside their age group at the discretion of the committee but may require the approval of MDNA in some circumstances. Decisions may be based on but not limited to the number of other players within the affected age groups and the physical and emotional development of the player involved. Requests to play outside your age group must be received by the committee in writing, during the registration period, but before team lists are finalised.
All players who register before registrations close will receive a netball at the start of the season. This ball is to be used for practice at home and should be brought to each training session and for pre-game warm-up. Late registered players only receive a ball if one is still in stock. Balls are not stored by the club and the number ordered are as close as possible to the number of registered players.
As part of the online registration process, parents accept the conditions of registration, which include but are not limited to the terms contained within the parent and spectator code of behaviour.
The Beetles registrar can be contacted directly by emailing registrationsbeetlesnc@outlook.com
It is an MDNA requirement that all players must clearly print their full name, date of birth and phone number on the official team registration card each season. Since COVID, signatures are no longer required. However, a tick is requested to be placed beside the players name to indicate they have taken court.
MDNA has strict requirements to track players who “fill in” for other Beetles teams on match days. Players can only fill in for teams that are in a higher grade or older age division than their original team. Players are allowed to fill in four times in the season. Each time a player fills in for a higher/older team, they must provide their name, their original team name and division on the match scorecard.
MDNA will impose penalties i.e. Give warnings and may remove competition points, if they believe an infringement has occurred. A query over any infringement may be raised with MDNA by contacting Beetles secretary or enquiring at the MDNA administration window on game day.
