Duration: 12 months (2023 season)
During the 2023 season we
will have options for both competitive players and social players.
Players wishing to be
selected in the top competitive division will register and grade as normal.
Players wishing to play
socially in lower divisions can nominate a friend or a group of friends which
they can be placed in a team with.
All players will be graded
together for ease, however, post those sessions, graders will set teams, either
with grading outcomes where competitive or social (grouping with their selected
friends and those of similar ability) where requested.
Weekly team training will be
set by the coach and players as agreed within the social teams, allowing
players the flexibility to come and play for fun on Saturdays if that is all
that the team wants to commit to, and therefore reducing dropout rates due to
work and school commitments.
The club will run a squad
style ‘skills training’ once a week on Thursday to accommodate players who want
to train but can’t commit every week. This session will be open to all Inters
players and will focus on fun, fitness and wellbeing.
The club recognises that the
pilot will be a little messy in its first year and adjustments will be made as
lessons are learned however we need to give an alternate option a go and hope
to engage more teen girls in netball and the club.
The club will publicise the
change via social media, advertising to current members and also via promotions
at the local high schools.
A review of
outcomes will be completed at the end of the season, with a recommendation for
endorsing the ongoing approach being made to the executive along with any lessons
learned and suggested changes.
