Inters Policy - 'Find a friend, Bring a friend'

Following the success of the Inters Pilot over the 2023 season the Management Committee have endorsed the implementation of the Find a friend, Bring a Friend Inters Netball Option for players aged 15 (turning 16 in 2024) and 19 years as a permanent policy inclusion from the 2024 season and beyond.

The program will continue to promote the increase in the engagement rate of teen girls in sport and netball more specifically.


A copy of the submission made to the 2022 AGM and further details on the Inters Policy are detailed below.

2024 Inters Program

During the 2024 season we will have options for players within our Inters age group.


Option 1. Players wishing to be selected in the top competitive team will register and grade as normal.

Option 2. Players wishing to play in all other teams can nominate a friend or a group of friends which they want to be placed in a team with.


All players will be graded together for ease, however, post the grading sessions, graders will set teams, either with grading outcomes and/or nominated groups (with their selected friends and those of similar ability) where requested.


*Where there are insufficient numbers of suitably skilled players who select to grade for the top competitive team and/or majority of teams are formed due to friend selection the Lead Grader, along with the Management Committee will decide on suitable grading of teams into the correct divisions for the Downey Park competition. 


All Inters teams will train on Thursday nights from 6.30pm - 8pm and these sessions will include 1 hour of training and 30 minutes of round robin games with other Inters and Opens teams. 

The club will run a squad style ‘skills training’ once per term, to allow all players to experience a myriad of coaching techniques from an array of highly skilled coaches and enjoy training with players from across different teams creating a culture of unity and positivity. 

An annual review of the Inters Program will be completed, following an Inters survey at the conclusion of each season to ensure constant changes and improvements can be made and lessons learned implemented for each consecutive season.
