11. TEAM SELECTION PROCESS
Policy Objectives:
The objectives of this policy are to ensure that as a Club we:
Maintain a fun, supportive and inclusive environment for all junior players who wish to play netball
Recognise the needs of junior players over time as they grow and develop their skills in netball
Help foster and develop athletic ability
Encourage and reward effort
Attempt to allocate players into suitable teams to ensure no player feels overshadowed and/or intimidated by stronger, more capable players and opponents
Acknowledge that player development is optimised when playing with and against junior players of a similar skill level and when aligning coaching to the skill level and maturity of the player
Maintain independence with our team selection processes and ensure an equal opportunity exists for all players
Inspire our junior players and parent community with sportsmanship and a desire to achieve success across the age groups and sections we are represented in.
Selection Policy
Sanctuary Lakes Netball Association recognises that teams sometimes wish to stay together. It is not our intention to modify teams each season, however circumstances may warrant changes. For example, age of players, number of players returning in each age group, achieving positional balance in teams and the changing skill level of team members are all significant factors when selecting teams.
Team Selections will be conducted by the entire SLNA Committee at a special purpose committee meeting. Selections cannot be held until after registration week each season, so that we have accurate numbers. Once teams are finalised, they will be communicated to coaches, and then communicated to all families.
Processes applicable to all players:
Players who have not registered and paid by the due date will not be eligible to play in the forthcoming season. Families having difficulty with payment should contact the Treasurer at accounts@sanctuarylakesnetball.com prior to the season commencing to discuss payment options.
Team size will not exceed 10 players. Team size is dependent on the factors outlined above.
Altona Netball Association requires each Club to rank their teams in order to align the skills and abilities of players within the same age group so that they maintain a fair competition. The Club will endeavour to rank our teams following the Altona Netball Association guidelines for each group. As of the Summer season of 2023 ANA will be grading teams in the Saturday competition of the first 3 weeks. There can be no player movement in grading games. This includes no fill-ins, borrowed players or new players. Only those players that were on the registration form that was submitted to ANA.
While the club is supportive of players who wish to play together from season to season, no player is guaranteed they will remain in a team from season to season. Allocation of players to teams will be determined per this policy, which is focussed on supporting each player‘s playing interests and skill level as they may vary from season to season.
At the end of the season, coaches will be asked to complete a short player summary form for each of their players. This will be provided to the selectors and used as part of the selection process, along with all committee members viewing games throughout the previous season. The summary form for each player may also be provided to the following season’s coach if the coach has changed. This will assist coaches in understanding each player’s general strengths, positional preferences and abilities.
12. EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR OF PLAYERS, PARENTS & FAMILY MEMBERS
Committee members, coaches, team managers and umpires are volunteers and should be respected at all times.
Recognize and respect the value and importance of volunteer administrators, coaches, team managers and umpires. They give up their time and resources to provide recreational activities for players and deserve your support.
Be courteous in communication with administrators, coaches, team managers and umpires. Teach your children to do likewise.
Codes of Conduct that are expected of every person involved in the netball community (all players, parents and family members) are to abide by Netball Victoria’s codes of conduct. Breaching any code of conduct or rules may result in sanctions.

13. TRAINING & GAME DAY ETIQUETTE
Coaches are volunteers. They spend an incredible amount of time planning training and games. It is important to recognize the time they commit to their team.
If you are unable to attend training or a game, you need to notify your coach as soon as possible via HEJA and also text them so that they know you are not available. It is important to advise the reason as to why they are unavailable.
Players should arrive 15 minutes prior to games to ensure all players are ready to receive instructions from their coach and warm up to prevent injuries.
If you arrive at the game after ½ time and have not notified your coach that you are running late you are not entitled to any court time. If we get a borrowed player to fill the 7th player you will not be able to take the court.
Nails should be cut, earrings out and hair up. Any taping required should also be done. SLNA is not responsible for supplying tape for players, it is the responsibility of each player to supply their own tape.
All persons are to respect the decisions a coach makes. If you have an issue or a concern please speak directly to your coach, however, do not approach a coach directly before, during or after the game as this is when a coach needs to concentrate on their team. The best time to do this is after training, organise a time to discuss an issue. For junior coaches we advise them that a committee member should be in attendance at any meeting with a parent.
Parents and family members are not to criticize players (own team, club or opposition) or any officials at training or at games. This is a breach of the codes of conduct and penalties may be sanctioned.
Only a captain is allowed to approach an umpire with any concerns. Under no circumstances are parents, family, friends, spectators or any other SLNA player allowed to do this. This is a breach of codes of conduct and also ANA rules - penalties may be sanctioned by SLNA and / or ANA.
If a player does speak or behave inappropriately during a game, the coach will remove them from the game and advise the committee. This is a breach and penalties may be sanctioned.
A parent acting inappropriately will be asked to leave the court by either the coach, team manager or a committee member. This is a junior sport and we must ensure adults lead by example. This is as breach and penalties may be sanctioned.
Should any person associated with SLNA demonstrate continued poor behavior sanctions WILL BE imposed on that family.
In the event of unacceptable behavior disciplinary action may be taken per the guidelines in the SLNA Constitution.
14. COURT TIME / ROTATIONS
Over the course of the normal season all fully paid players will be afforded equal court time.
Each coach keeps up to date records of positions / court time / training. This is monitored by the Coach Coordinator.
It is up to the discretion of the coach how court time is allocated.
If a player isn’t at training, they may receive less court time during the season than those that are at training.
If you have a fill-in player / borrowed player helping out your team for the game, they will receive no less than ¾ of a game.
During finals time all players are entitled to receive no less than a ¼ of a game.
Under 9s, lower division 11s & 13s will be rotated through all positions over the duration of the regular season.
15. BORROWED & FILL-IN PLAYERS (ONLY AFTER ROUND 3 OF GRADING)
Occasionally a player may be asked to help out another SLNA team due to injury or player shortage.
All player movements must be coordinated by the Coordinator/s.
If you are to help out another team you will be entitled to receive no less than ¾ of a game.
You can only play up a division or age group.
Once you have played 3 games in the higher team you will then become a member of that team
It is important to put fill-in or borrowed players on the scoresheet. This needs to be done prior to the game beginning and written correctly. The Altona Coordinator will advise the team manager and coach who the player will be and what needs to be written on the scoresheet. More information below.
FILL-IN PLAYER
A “FILL-IN” player can play a maximum of one game per competition. There is no limit to the number of fill-in players per team

A borrowed player must satisfy the age requirements for the division in which they are being a borrowed player for. A borrowed player can only play up a division and not in the ame or lower division.
Teams may borrow players from within the club to ensure the team has sufficient players to play the game. Such players will be treated as a “borrowed player”.
Teams can play a maximum of three (3) borrowed players per game to ensure teams have a maximum of seven (7) players to take the court. Teams cannot play a borrowed player to field a team if they already have 7 players.
