Please note: At Contax we endeavour to keep costs as low as possible each year. Given the major redevelopment at Netball SA over the summer period, the club is yet to have court hire costs confirmed. If the court hire costs are greater than expected, there may be an additional fee added at the time of acceptance of selection to cover this increase in court hire costs. If this is to occur, the club will communicate this prior to selection emails being sent out.

GOVERNMENT SPORTS VOUCHERS

• Government sports vouchers to the value of $200 (2x $100 vouchers per child, per year) are available for all children attending Primary school or equivalent from Reception to Year 9 once per calendar year.
• Families wishing to use their sports voucher/s must contact our Secretary at [email protected] and our Treasurer at [email protected] once their child/ren have been selected in a team and registered to play for Winter 2026.
• Once you have made contact with the above, instructions on how to use the voucher and a $100 or $200 (whichever voucher value is valid) discount of Club trials fees will be provided.

IMPORTANT TRIAL INFORMATION

• All players are expected to attend all trials. If unable to attend the trial, an apology must be made to the Trials Coordinator, Jessica Mader – [email protected] prior to the trial with significant reason for inability to attend.
• All triallists are to wear plain attire. No Club, School or State colours are to be worn throughout trials
• In 2026, all trials will be held outside. Please wear sunscreen, bring a hat for when not on court, drink plenty of water prior to arriving to trials and bring plenty of water with you.
• Please refer to our Club Website and Facebook regularly prior to trials as any changes to trial schedule for unforseen reasons will be communicated on our sites not directly with players. We highly recommend “Liking” our Facebook site as this way you will see instant updates or last-minute changes.
• Trialling does not guarantee selection due to large number of participants – Contax is committed to ensure all players are provided equal & fair opportunity during trials in all grades with highly experienced selectors. Each player will be treated with respect and will have a minimum of 2 court appearances with at least one in their first preference position indicated.  Due to position choices, some players may get more court time to ensure team is fully fielded to provide each player with trial opportunities in preferred position at each trial.
• Selection in a Summer Competition Team DOES NOT mean automatic selection in a team for Winter competition OR an equivalent grading expectation for Winter as Summer grading. This because many Winter players do not participate in Summer Competition
• ALL players will receive an email either during or following the trials notifying the outcome of their trial.

IF YOU ARE SELECTED IN A TEAM

• You will be required to accept your selection within your selected team or squad in PlayHQ (or decline selection via email). An email with instructions on how to do this will be sent out following trials. At this time, you will also be required to pay the Netball SA Annual Membership fees valid for all competitions in SA from 1/4/2026 – 31/3/2027.
• All selected players are expected to attend Season Launch to obtain important club information, and to meet your coach and teammates. More information about Season. Launch will be released at a later date.
• Note: Should there be 3 or more players from one family successful in the selection process, the club is willing to apply a part refund to fees.
