​

Grading is a process that occurs each year and is the way in which Newman Sienna Netball Club (NSNC) decides the composition of its teams for the upcoming season. NSNC is committed to ensuring that the grading of players is conducted in a fair and consistent manner with the best interests of players and club in mind. The aim of grading is to form teams which have a balanced group of players of similar ability across all playing positions. We select teams to ensure the best chance of success, the greatest level of enjoyment and the highest potential for individual player development during each season. The grading process will also be influenced by the number of registered players in any season or age group. 

 

The Newman Sienna Netball Club (NSNC) grading committee will consist of our Club President, Vice President and the NSNC Coaching Coordinator. In addition to this group, there are three external independent graders who all collectively work together to grade our players and help create our teams. At all times the NSNC Grading Coordinators will oversee all the steps involved with the grading process.

 

When grading our players we ask the graders to consider the following:

Every player to start the grading process on a clean slate, independent of previous years performance

Look at the ability shown by the players over the 3 grading sessions

Ensure that all players have played in both their 1st and 2nd preferred positions
