ALL REGISTRATIONS MUST BE LODGED BY 28th February 2016.
Total Fees :
1st girl - $280
2nd girl - $265
3rd girl - $265
Minimum payable at sign on: $150 per player
The minimum deposit of $150 will not be refunded if a player withdraws after the first trial night. As the
netball insurance year now runs from the 1st January to 31st December, all players must have signed on
and paid the deposit before trials to ensure that they are covered by insurance should an injury occur
during trials.
Fee Increase:
Our fees have remained the same for numerous years. This year, however, Netball Queensland and
Downey Park have increased their fees so we have increased the fees to $280 due to these increases
from the both of these bodies.
A bond of $30 is included in the fee per family. The $30 is refundable if a member of the club (i.e. a
parent in the case of juniors and a player in the case of seniors) fulfils a duty for the Club. Duties
include being a member of the executive, managing a team, or completing a roster in the canteen.
Where does your money go? A large percentage of your fees go to the Downey Park Netball
Association - $141 per player as well as $220 per team ground fees. Fees to Downey Park cover a
range of activities including maintaining and developing the netball courts and the netball complex,
paying for staff administration of the Association, insurance for the Association, and payments to
Netball Queensland for player registration and player insurance. The major part of the amount left for
the Club goes to the hire of courts for training on Monday night, equipment, end of year trophies,
coaches and umpires training courses, payment for our qualified umpires and administration costs.
Uniforms: All uniforms are to be ordered by mail/email ([email protected] )or on sign on
day or the first trial night. Information on sizes and costs is attached with the order form. It is important
that you order the correct size so please check sizes with the uniforms convenors, Alison Smith and
Wendy Jones, when you order your uniform.

Membership: For players under 18 years, membership of the club is provided to one parent or

their own right. Any other interested person may apply for membership of the club. There is a nominal
membership fee of $2.00.
Birth Certificate: All new players to Canons Rebels Netball Club must produce proof of date of birth
before they can be registered. Please bring your birth certificate (original certificate, not a copy

Training: Monday nights - To commence Monday, 22nd February 2015. Times for teams to train will
vary depending on the availability of coaches, times coaches are training themselves, and the
availability of courts. Not all teams will train at the same time. It is our preference that our younger
non-competitive teams will commence training between 5.00 pm and 5.30 pm. Times cannot be
confirmed until we have all the teams and coaches organised, nor is it possible to guarantee
that members of families in different teams will train at exactly the same time.

(the Downey Park State League teams) for 16 years, 19 years and Opens will be on Friday, 5th

a nomination form see the DPNA web site.

CLUB INFORMATION FOR ALL PLAYERS AND PARENTS
Player/Parent Responsibilities
Canons Rebels Netball Club is run by volunteers – executive members, coaches, managers and
umpires are all volunteers. Parents are asked to assist with at least one club activity during
the year. The areas in which you could assist are listed below. Our Club is a strong Club and last
year we had good support from our parents. Let’s continue that in 2016. We all lead busy lives but
we ask for your full support in all activities so that we can maintain our strength
Codes of Behaviour
Your attention is drawn to the Parents/Spectators and the Players Codes of Behaviour. Netball
Queensland has developed these guidelines and all parents, spectators and players are expected
to abide by them.
Team Managers: We require a parent from each team to manage the team. This is a very important
role but one which most parents would enjoy.
Canteen: The Club will be rostered to run the Downey Park canteen on two Saturdays during the
season and on Semi Final Day. We will also be rostered to assist at the Downey Park Carnival,
Sunday,22nd of May 2016. Normally parents assisting in this area would be allocated a 2 hour shift in
the Canteen on one of our allocated days but we are always happy to have parents volunteer for more
time!!
Coaches Our team numbers are limited by the number of coaches available. We are always looking
for new coaches from either players or parents. Training courses are available and the Club is setting
up some support for new coaches. Particularly if you played netball yourself, it is a very good way to
become more involved in your daughter’s sport. Please let us know if you would be interested in
coaching. Reduced fees are available for players who are coaching and for children of parents who
are coaching.
Umpiring: The Club is required to provide an umpire for each team every week or the Club faces hefty
fines. To meet our requirements we will be seeking interested players and parents who will be
prepared to attend the Umpires course (approx. 3 hours) and sit for and pass the umpire’s exam, now
available on line. We will pay our umpires per game as follows:
$5 no exam passed
$10 exam completed and passed; umpire course completed
$15 Junior badge – level 1 and exam
$25 Senior badges (level 1, exam, and practical)
$5 – On call and Club on call – but if required to umpire then payments as above
The Club will provide support and ensure there is training for those interested. We will need at
least two or three players for every team 13 years and over who are prepared to complete the
qualifications and umpire on a regular basis, preferably once per week
Blue Card: The State Government requires that any person over 18 years, who is working with
children, either in an employed or voluntary capacity. They must receive a security clearance from the
Children’s Commission and be issued with a working with children Blue Card. This will be organised
through the Club. Parents who are involved in similar activities to their children are exempt.
EAR RINGS: Note that players cannot take the court with any jewellery even if it is taped over.
Players please do not get your ears pierced during the netball season. If you are unable to remove
the earring, you will not be able to play.

PARENTS AND SPECTATORS’ CODE OF BEHAVIOUR

Remember that participants are involved in Netball for their enjoyment and benefit, not
yours.

Encourage children to play Netball if they are interested. However, if a child is not willing to
play, do not force him or her.

Focus on the efforts and performance rather than the overall outcome of the event. This
assists the participant in setting realistic goals related to his/her ability by reducing the
emphasis on winning.

Encourage participants to always play according to the rules and the umpires’ decisions.

Never ridicule or shout at a participant for making a mistake or losing a game. Positive
comments are motivational.

Remember to set a good example. Applaud good play from all individuals and teams.
Congratulate all participants on their performance regardless of the game’s outcome.

Respect the decisions of umpires, coaches and administrators and teach others to do the
same.

Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from the playing arena, whether it is
by spectators, coaches, umpires or players.

Show respect for your team’s opponents. Without them there would be no game.

Do not use foul language, sledge or harass players, coaches, umpires or administrators.

Recognise the value and importance of volunteer coaches, umpires and administrators.
They give their time and resources to provide recreational activities and deserve your
support.

Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every person regardless of their age, gender, ability,
cultural background or religion.

Spectators are requested not to smoke near the netball courts.

DPNA does not permit any animals on or near the courts or in the fenced compound at any
time.

No spectator is to photograph any player or players without first having obtained permission
to do so by the team coach or manager.

DPNA reserves the right to immediately remove from DPNA premises, any person who any
member of DPNA Executive believes, on reasonable grounds, to have breached this code
of behaviour.
