1. Diamond Creek Netball Club
2018

2. Introduction How did we get here ?
Your child’s development as a netballer and a person on and off the court is our main priority. Whilst our players are our greatest asset, we have great coaches who are not being utilised to their full potential at a representative level.
We as a club have taken on board feedback from both players and parents and you are about to see our plan in response to these concerns.
Our aim is to retain our talented players within our netball club as they move through the Netball Victoria Pathways to reach their full potential.

COACHING FRAMEWORK
Coaches will be working together to ensure consistency across all age groups. E.g. same structure and game plan

4. DCNC has always had a strong presence in these pathways.
We are waiting for confirmation from netball Victoria about our eligibility to enter the State Association Championships, this is one way players can be talent identified. This is the only difference between DCNC and an association team. There are many other ways for players to be talent identified for zone academy and state teams such as:
Jika- Regional State Titles- Our DC coaches are currently part of the selection panel for these teams
Talent scouts can be asked by coaches to attend any competitions players are involved in.

If players wish to trial for other associations as well as DCNC that is absolutely fine. We want all players to have the opportunity to make a team.
However players will not be able to play both. There will be no ramifications on their domestic placement if they choose to play for another association.
Teams will be announced during the week after the second selection.
Training is likely to commence on Monday nights when the Saturday season finishes on the following dates:
Monday the 4th, 11th, and 18th December.
