Playing for Garville Netball Club

Garville Netball Club has a long tradition competing at the highest levels of netball in South Australia and in other senior and junior competitions.

Garville competes in The Hospital Research Foundation Group Premier League competition, the pre-eminent netball competition in South Australia.

From 2023, Garville has also been a founding club in the South Australian Men’s Super League competition.

At other levels, Garville Netball Club competes each Winter in the Netball SA Adelaide Metropolitan Netball Division (AMND) in both senior and junior age groups. During Summer, Garville competes in the Netball SA City Night Netball (City Night) competition in senior and junior age groups.

From 2024, Garville also compete in the SAMMNA MLeague competition for men’s and mixed teams.

2024-2025 Summer City Night Season

The Garville Netball Club invites all past and future players to register to trial for the 2024/2025 Summer City Night Season.  

The City Night netball division plays on Tuesday and Friday evening between October and March. Details about City Night are available here. Garville competes in the Senior Age group (18 and over) and all younger age groups. Exact season dates are yet to be announced.

While City Night competition is predominantly for females, in accordance with the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 (SA), males can play in the City Night competition until the age of 12. Boys who are under 12 years of age at the commencement of competition will be permitted to play throughout that season, until its conclusion, even if they turn 12 during the competition. We encourage boys to trial for City Night teams as a good introduction to playing in older age competitions in men’s and mixed teams.

Registrations for trials will close Monday 5th August 2024 @ 6.00pm

Trial Dates

All trials will be held at Concordia College, 24 Winchester St, Highgate, not Netball SA Stadium. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before you are due to commence trials for check in. All players are expected and required to attend all trials and wear plain attire, ie no Club, School or State colours are to be worn throughout trials. It is helpful if players wear the same attire for all trials.

Consistent with our usual practice, Garville conducts Summer trials on the age groups that will apply in the following Winter season (2025). For example, while a player born in 2011 is eligible to play Sub Junior under competition rules, Garville will trial that player in the Junior age group as an aid to player development.

On acceptance of your position, the NetballSA annual membership fee for Seniors $130 plus GST and $100 plus GST for Juniors and a digital processing fee must be paid. If you have already paid this in Winter 2024 you do not pay this again for Summer.

Pathway teams: players selected in our pathway teams will be invited to additional specialist training sessions with our qualified coaches. There will be an additional cost. More detail to follow upon selection.

Terms and Conditions

Club fees must be paid at the time of registration for trails. Netball SA Fees must be paid on acceptance of position (if applicable). No player will be allowed to trial unless fees are paid in full for the season.

Due to a large number of players, no player is guaranteed a place in a team. Players who are not placed in a team will receive a refund of the Club fee less a $50 trials administration fee.

Please note that it is our trial policy that if a player is placed in a team and subsequently withdraws, there will be no refund offered. Players who withdraw at least 48 hours prior to the commencement of trials will receive a refund of the Club fee less a $50 trials administration fee.

You will be notified by email when teams have been chosen.

Selection in a Winter Team does not mean automatic selection in a team for Summer competition or an equivalent grading expectation for Summer as for Winter grading. This is because some Winter players do not participate in Summer competition, and some players only participate in Summer.
