Competitions @ TNA
TNA run two main competitions during each year.
Winter Competition runs from May to September each year. Entry to this competition is via an affiliated club team or school team. Independent teams are also accepted in this competition.
Summer Competition runs during Term4 each year and is a purely social comp, with all teams being organised and entered by players. Monday night is the Senior Womens and Senior Mixed grades and Wednesday night is for the Junior and Intermediates grades. Teams must provide and pay their own umpire for this comp.
The competitions are overseen by the TNA Vice President of Competition, assisted by a Junior, Inters and Seniors Convener.
Our TNA VP Competition is: Simone
vp.competition@tuggeranongnetball.com.au
Junior Convenor: Jodie Russell
Winter Competition
2023 Winter Comp Draws can be found on PlayHQ here.
Please note that fixtures are a live document – so while we do our best to minimise changes – sometimes this is inevitable. Any last minute changes will be communicated to affected teams directly.
A reminder that grading and regrading can occur – particularly during the first couple of rounds. Grading and regrading will be looked at according to TNA’s Grading Policy. If you have any questions about grading or regrading please email: vp.competition@tuggeranongnetball.com.au
Registration reminder
A reminder that players must be registered before taking the court. For those applying for grants, players must be approved by TNA before taking the court.
Scoresheets
You will notice that our scoresheets in the new PlayHQ system look a little different. If you would like some support in completing the scoresheet during games please contact your club or TNA for support.
Where to find scoresheets
All scoresheets can be found in crates outside the pavilion (sorted by game time). Please arrange to collect your scoresheet prior to your game. Scoresheets can be returned to the convenors office following the games.
Scoring
A reminder that a representative from each team should stand together to score the game. Disputes will not be entered into unless these representatives are standing together. If a dispute on the score occurs – the team disputing should not sign the scoresheet and should contact TNA asap.
Recording players on scoresheets
All players participating in games need to be recorded on the scoresheet (with players signing next to their name).
If a player is filling in for a team they should be recorded in the designated section for fill in players. A reminder that fill in players may only play for any team three times before being ineligible for their old team. Teams from the same division may not fill in for one another (this includes grades that are split into divisions – eg. year 6 B may not fill in for a team in year 6 A).
Duty roster
A reminder that each team will be rostered on by your club or school to fulfil a spot in the duty roster. This is only allocated once per season so your assistance is appreciated to fill this and ensure your teams are organised.
We also ask that a representative from each team playing in the last timeslot of the day return a post pad to the shed.
This is following 11am games – year 2 and 3:30pm games – seniors. Please ensure your teams in these divisions are aware of this.
TNA Codes of Behaviour
Please remember that TNA expects all players, family, spectators and officials to abide by the TNA Codes of Behaviour and the Netball Australia Member Protection Policy. There is the expectation that by entering teams in the TNA competition that these guidelines will be followed.
By-Law 8.5 requires that no member of the association play for another club in the association (affiliated or school) without receiving permission from your current registered club.
What does that mean: If you are filling in for a team that is NOT from the club your are currently registered in, you must seek permisssion from an official (preferably the President/Vice President/School Coordinator) of the club you are registered with, BEFORE taking the court for the fill-in team.
