How can I go about representing
Victoria?
Each year in around Sept/Oct, the VMNL conducts trials for
positions in its state representative teams.
Trials are conducted over a three week period where would-be
state players come under the scrutiny of our state team
coaches.
Players should keep an eye out for information about our trials
either by registering their contact details on our data base, or
simply keep checking our website for updates.
I don't play but would still like to be involved in
a state team?
The VMNL is always looking for coaches, managers, sports
trainers and umpires to be a part of their programs. These
positions play a vital role within our state netball teams.
A good way to start would be to become involved with a team at
M-LEAGUE, be it
coaching organising or even registering as an umpire.
How can my club or association get involved with
Men's & Mixed netball?
Simply register your interest with any of the VMNL
representatives.
Your club/association may have junior boys that could enter the
Junior Boy's
competition, or your girls may be interested in matching their
skills against the boys by playing Mixed.
If you don't have access to male players, the VMNL would be
happy to introduce some players to your club. These players
could not only represent you in mixed competition, but Men's as
well.
What advantages are there for my club or
association?
· Opportunity to
expand your netball program.
· Offer variety to
your existing members, which could prolong their involvement.
· Introduce new
members to your club that could turn into key contributors in the
area of coaching and administrating.
· Improve the play of
your female players buy giving them regular competition against the
bigger male bodies.
· Could help to lure
some of your former elite players back to represent your club.
If I'm not in a State team, how can I be a part of
Men's & Mixed Netball?
The VMNL conducts excellent an Men's & Mixed netball
competition known as M-LEAGUE.
M-LEAGUE is played at Banyule Netball Stadium at the State
Netball Centre on Wednesday nights. The competition caters
for differing standards of play.
The highlight of the competition is the Premier Mixed &
Premier Men's division, which is full of state representative
players, as well as the occasional NNL player.
