HOW MANY PLAYERS DO WE NEED ON MY TEAM FOR NETBALL?
The team can be made up of any gender including gender-diverse people. There can only be a maximum of three (3) male identifying players on the court at one time who must be distributed into separate thirds of the court. You decide how many players are on your roster, but we recommend about 9-10 to account for subs, and weeks when people can’t make it.
I HAVE NEVER PLAYED NETBALL, WILL I STILL BE OK TO REGISTER AND PLAY?
If you are completely new to the sport (or haven’t played in a while), ensure you choose a recreational division when registering and you will be taught everything on the first night. We have friendly League Hosts who coach and care and will help you develop your game throughout the season.
I AM HOPING TO REGISTER AS A TEAM, BUT I AM JUST GETTING IT ALL ORGANISED, WILL I MISS OUT?
Most of our leagues allow you to pay a $150 deposit to lock in your team space. The final amount is due before the league starts. Some leagues sell out quickly, so pay the deposit ASAP to avoid disappointment.
I DON’T HAVE A TEAM, I WANT TO REGISTER ON MY OWN, IS THAT POSSIBLE?
Yes, we offer individual registration as well. Click here to see the FAQ’s and more info about signing up for an individually formed team.
I DON’T HAVE A TEAM, I WANT TO REGISTER WITH A FRIEND(S), IS THAT POSSIBLE?
Yes, register as an individual and you and your friends can join together and meet other people.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING, OR WEAR WHEN PLAYING THIS SPORT?
Teams will be asked to bring their team bibs. If you do not have a set of team bibs, you can purchase them from Urban Rec. Individual teams are given a set of bibs for their season to keep. For Netball, normal runners and activewear is fine.
Urban Rec will supply all the equipment.
HOW LONG DO THE GAMES LAST FOR?
The game is played in four (4) 8 minute quarters. If your team show up late those times might be shortened, so lace up and be ready! You can view the sports rules for more detailed information on subbing players, breaks etc.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I REGISTER?
You will start receiving information about your league via email, so make sure you add [email protected] to your address book.
WHO IS MY MAIN POINT OF CONTACT AT URBAN REC?
We love people and for that reason, you have a dedicated League Manager who will be your main point of contact throughout the season. You will also have a League Host who is part coach, and part referee, and they will be there each week to run your games.
