2024 Program
There are certain expectations when a player is selected to represent NGCNA.
Please be aware of the commitment required to be a part of a representative team and refer to the NGCNA Rep Policies and the Netball Queensland Code of Conduct & Integrity which can be found on this website.
Training sessions and carnivals are compulsory and records are kept of player attendance. If a player is unavailable to attend training or a carnival due to illness, injury or special circumstances, then the coach and the Rep Co-ordinator are to be notified and a medical certificate may be required. If a medical certificate is submitted, then a medical clearance will be required prior to the player returning to the court. Injured players may be asked to observe training sessions and attend carnivals. If a player misses 2+ training sessions without an acceptable reason, the player may be replaced in the team.
Coaches may set additional compulsory training sessions in the lead up to the State Age Competition as well as team bonding sessions.
All representative players must be registered with an NGCNA affiliated club or an NGCNA approved competition by 20th February 2024.

Compulsory Fitness Sessions
All State Age teams are required to attend one compulsory fitness session per week in addition to Monday night training. The cost of these sessions is included in the fee for the representative season. Each player will receive 20 passes to use over the course of 24 weeks whilst coinciding with the netball training season. These sessions are held at F45 Training - Hope Island, located on Level 1 Hope Island Marketplace Complex.
