Age Group Representative Information 

Netball Hutt Valley have an aspiration to provide opportunities to players, coaches, managers & selectors within our community. 

Annually we provide development & representative offerings for our community to participate in local & national tournaments. 

Age Group Trial Information

Netball Hutt Valley will be offering the below age groups in 2025:

  • Under 16 Representative Programme (14 or over and under 16 as at 1 January 2025)
  • Under 18 Representative Programme (16 or over and under 18 as at 1 January 2025) - Female & Male pathway

Our Gold teams will represent the centre at the championship event for each age group. 

Players under the age of 14 as at 1st January 2025 are not eligible for representative offerings. 

**Year 7 & 8 PDP and Under 14 PDP information can be found under the Development Programmes tab on our website. 

Player Eligiblity 

Please note ALL players must be registered & playing in the NHV or HVSSA competitions in 2025 to be eligible to play for Netball Hutt Valley. Players must also regsiter & play within their eligible age group in the first instance.

Player nominations can be made via the registration form sent to schools and clubs/ available on our website. NHV will make contact with nominated players prior to scheduled trial dates with further information. 

Please ensure you select the correct positions on your registration form as it is very hard to make changes on the day and we cannot guarantee you will get a run in your preferred position if you make a change after the registration cut off date. If there is an overload in certain positions i.e. midcourt some players may be asked to play in additional positions. We will endeavour to ensure all players have the opportunity to play in their preferred position(s) for a minimum of three games per trial. 

Dispensations

Inability to attend the trial date(s) may impact the trialists selection. We strongly recommend you make yourself available for all trial date(s). In special circumstances a dispensation may be granted, provided a valid reason has been given for why a trialist may miss a trial. If seeking dispensation please email admin@netballhuttvalley.co.nz with your valid reason outlined in the message. Dispensations will be granted at the discretion of the CDO and Age Group selection panel. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
