Welcome to the NetSetGO portal. This is a place where our NetSetGO members can come to find all the relevant information for the NetSetGO program
Training
Training is on Thursday evenings 4pm-5:00pm. We ask that all athletes arrive at least 5 minutes early and to be ready to go.
Training is important for athletes and coaches to connect and focus on skill development. For this reason, we ask that parents do not sit on the sidelines of the courts during training sessions as this can be distracting at times. If any athlete has medical concerns or issues with anxiety that weren’t disclosed in registration, please liaise with your coach.
Our coaches are all volunteers, with many of them being players themselves. They are also learning and are receiving ongoing development through attendance at coaching courses as well as working with a mentor. The coaches are following a program that has been developed by the club and focuses on the progression of skills as outlined by Netball Australia. The focus for NetSetGO is the development of basic skills and participation.
If you have any concerns about your child’s development or progress, please do not hesitate to contact your coach.
Training attire
Players should be dressed appropriately for training. This includes wearing the NetSetGO T-shirt (or Saints training t-shirt), sports shoes and removing all jewellery. Please bring a bag with a drink bottle, towel and a jumper for cooler weather.
Matches
All Winter games are played at Noranda Netball Association on Friday nights.
Fixtures are available on PlayHQ.
Rules
The NetSetGO program has been developed under the guidelines of the Netball Australia Junior Sports Policy, which emphasises “The introduction of children to organised competitive netball should be gradual and is best achieved through minor games/ activities and modified rules.”
The SET tier is an introduction to the sport of netball and incorporates skills, activities, modified matches and uses modified equipment. It is a skill and competition-based program that allows children to learn and develop their skills in a series of fun activities and minor games, which can then be applied in a match situation. The rules for the modified SET competition can be found here.
The GO tier has been introduced to ensure a smooth transition for participants into Junior Netball. The modified rules and equipment allow for participants to experience success while learning the correct technique and executing skills with greater proficiency. The rules for the modified GO competition can be found here.
Game Day Protocols
There are specific protocols for issues or queries that might arise from game day. To address an issue on game day, you must speak to the Team Manager who will then speak with a Saint Committee member or an NNA representative.
If the issue is not dealt with on game day, please do not contact NNA directly. NNA will only liaise with the club contact which is our executive committee. To raise any issues, please first discuss with your coach and team manager or email [email protected] who will be able to either answer your question or contact NNA on your behalf.
We also have our NSG coordinator who can assist where required.
Scorecards
- There is a score card sample available from NNA here.
- You do not need to fill in goal attempts.
- The scorecard must stay in the scoring box for the whole game, even during break periods.
- The NetSetGo time slots are centrally timed, but it is recommended to have a “timer” to observe the scorer and to stop score disputes.
- Do not prefill centre passes.
Communication
Your team will have a team manager (parent of a player on your team) that will help out with team admin. A WhatsApp will be used by your coach / manager to send reminders and updates.
The club will post updates via socials (make sure you join the Facebook Group) and email (where relevant).
If you have any questions or queries, please get in contact with the club via the email below or chat to your coach.
