Grading Attendance
Players are to attend all grading sessions. Grading is compulsory to ensure our graders make the correct selections when forming teams. If a player is unable to attend a grading session for any reason, they must advise the Coach Co-Ordinator immediately. coaches@sorrentosaints.com
Injuries
If you are injured and unable to participate in grading, you are to advise the Coach Co-Ordinator immediately. coaches@sorrentosaints.com You must also attend grading.
Injuries during grading:
SSNC will endeavour to have a first aid officer for each grading session to assist should any injuries occur. We will have a basic first aid kit as well as ice. If an injury is sustained during grading, a doctor/physio clearance will be required prior to participating in any remaining grading sessions.
Court Time at Trials/Grading
Players need to be aware some positions have significantly more players vying for positions than others. For example, a centre court player may receive less court time at trials than a circle defender or goal shooter. All players will still have ample opportunity to be seen by selectors. Occasionally you will be required to play out of position; however, the selectors will note this on their grading paperwork.
Number of Players per team
Teams usually consist of up to ten players.
When teams consist of Western Australian Netball League and/or State Representatives, it may be necessary for teams to have more than 10 players.
