Diamond Creek Netball Club 2018

Introduction How did we get here ? Your child’s development as a netballer and a person on and off the court is our main priority. Whilst our players are our greatest asset, we have great coaches who are not being utilised to their full potential at a representative level. We as a club have taken on board feedback from both players and parents and you are about to see our 2018 plan in response to these concerns. Our aim is to retain our talented players within our netball club as they move through the Netball Victoria Pathways to reach their full potential.

COACHING FRAMEWORK Coaches will be working together to ensure consistency across all age groups. E.g. same structure and game plan

DCNC has always had a strong presence in these pathways. We are waiting for confirmation from netball Victoria about our eligibility to enter the State Association Championships, this is one way players can be talent identified. This is the only difference between DCNC and an association team. There are many other ways for players to be talent identified for zone academy and state teams such as: Jika- Regional State Titles- Our DC coaches are currently part of the selection panel for these teams Talent scouts can be asked by coaches to attend any competitions players are involved in.

Representative commitments 15’s - Parkville Thursday night & approx 4 tournaments 17’s - Parkville Tuesday night & approx 4 tournaments 11’s and 13’s – Around 6 tournaments for the year. Saturday - potentially 11’s and 13’s players will play in their regular domestic team in their own age group, followed by a game with their ‘rep’ team in a higher age group.

SELECTIONS Selection will be held on Monday the 9th and 16th of October. Age Group Selectors 11s: 4:00-5:00 Charmaine, Kristie, Simone, Kate 13s: 5:00-6:30 Kate, Brooke, Roger 15s: 6:30- 8:00 Bron, Stacey, Brooke, Lynsey, Simone 17s: 6:30- 8:00 If players wish to trial for other associations as well as DCNC that is absolutely fine. We want all players to have the opportunity to make a team. However players will not be able to play both. There will be no ramifications on their domestic placement if they choose to play for another association. Teams will be announced during the week after the second selection. Training is likely to commence on Monday nights when the Saturday season finishes on the following dates: Monday the 4th, 11th, and 18th December.
