Prep for Rep - U11 & JSA Information and registration

Terms and conditions

• By registering for the Blue Jays 2027 U11 & Junior State Age Prep Training Block, participants and their parent/guardian agree to the following terms and conditions.
  
  1. Eligibility
  The training block is open to Blue Jays players intending to trial for the 2027 U11 or Junior State Age (12–14s) representative teams. Participation in the training block does not guarantee selection in a 2027 BNA representative team.
  
  2. Registration
  Registration is required for all players attending. There is no fee to participate; however, players must register so Blue Jays can plan appropriate coaching, equipment and court space.
  
  3. Attendance
  Players are encouraged to attend as many sessions as possible across the five-week training block. Players should notify the relevant Blue Jays contact if they are unable to attend a session after registering.
  
  4. Parent/Guardian Drop-Off and Collection
  Due to the age of participants, a parent or guardian must personally drop the player at the court and personally collect them from the court at the conclusion of each session.
  Players must not be dropped off and left at the venue before the scheduled training time. Coaches and Blue Jays volunteers are not responsible for supervising players before the session commences or after the session concludes.
  Parents/guardians must ensure they are present at the court at 7:00pm to collect their child. If a parent/guardian is unexpectedly delayed, they must contact Lucy on 0475 774 751 as soon as possible.
  
  5. Player Preparation and Safety
  Players must arrive prepared to participate safely in all training activities. This includes:
  - Removing all jewellery, including earrings and piercings, before training.
  - Ensuring fingernails are cut short and safe for contact with other players.
  - Wearing appropriate sports clothing and suitable netball footwear.
  - Bringing sufficient water for the duration of the session.
  Players who are unable to meet these requirements may be asked not to participate in certain activities for their own safety and the safety of others.
  
  6. Training and Fitness
  Sessions may include fitness, netball skills, game-specific activities and conditioning. Players are expected to participate to the best of their ability and communicate with coaches if they are unable to safely complete an activity.
  
  7. Health and Injuries
  Parents/guardians are responsible for informing Blue Jays coaches or organisers of any relevant injury, medical condition or limitation that may affect their child's participation.
  Players should not attend training if they are unwell or have an injury that makes participation unsafe.
  
  8. Player Conduct
  All players are expected to demonstrate respectful and appropriate behaviour towards coaches, other players, officials and volunteers. Blue Jays' expectations regarding respectful conduct apply throughout the training block.
  
  9. Weather and Cancellation
  Sessions may be modified, postponed or cancelled where weather, court conditions or other circumstances make it unsafe or impractical to proceed. Where possible, registered participants will be notified of any changes as soon as practicable.
  
  10. Photography and Media
  Photography may occur during Blue Jays activities for legitimate club purposes, including promotion and communication of Blue Jays programs and events. Any photography will be conducted in accordance with applicable Blue Jays photography and child safety requirements.
  
  11. Representative Selection
  Participation in the Prep Training Block is not part of the formal BNA 2027 representative selection process and does not guarantee selection or provide a player with an advantage or disadvantage in selection. Players will be assessed through the formal BNA representative trial and selection process.
  
  12. Acknowledgement of Risk
  Netball and fitness activities involve an inherent risk of injury. By participating, players and their parent/guardian acknowledge these risks and agree to follow reasonable instructions from coaches and organisers to support a safe training environment.
  
  13. Changes to the Program
  Blue Jays reserves the right to make reasonable changes to session times, activities, coaching arrangements or the training program where necessary. Any significant changes will be communicated to registered participants.
  
  14. Agreement
  By submitting a registration for the 2027 U11 & Junior State Age Prep Training Block, the player and their parent/guardian confirm that they have read and agree to these terms and conditions.
