NIGHTCLIFF NETBALL CLUB DARWIN
Managers
Club Ethos
Our aim is to be a successful club – something we believe should be measured not just by the number of games we win – but by how each individual member fits into and contributes to the club. To achieve this we have a core set of principles –
-
Commitment, to the club and to your own personal development;
-
Honesty;
-
Earned respect;
-
Discipline
We are a club which treats all members fairly and equally, and values the individual skills, style and diverse personalities that each member brings to the club; where everyone is encouraged to, and feels confident to contribute, and these contributions are valued and acknowledged – but most of all, a club where everyone enjoys their netball.
We encourage members to take responsibility for their own progress, think about what they need to do to reach their netball potential and develop the confidence and skills to make positive netball decisions, both on and off the court.
We expect a lot from our members, and we expect our members to ask a lot from the club. We provide well thought out, structured training sessions aimed at developing both individual skills and a strong, positive style of play.
We have a strong junior section which feeds into our senior club and believe in supporting our players in developing not only their playing skills but other areas such as officiating and coaching, with a vision that these youngsters will provide the club with the next generation of senior players.
PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
Nightcliff Netball Club strives in our ethos of helping develop all individuals to achieve their potential, whether this is reaching the heights of the club’s first team or being part of the individual’s journey to become an international netball player.
We work towards this in a team environment of all ages and abilities by having a family of coaches, team managers, umpires and supportive parents who all work together in a safe, open and cohesive environment.

Umpires
Umpires will be supplied for each game where available. We are a huge club and get a lot of umpiring allocations each week. Your team may be asked from time to time to provide a umpire. What some teams choose todo is either have a dedicated umpire for the team or develop a team umpiring roster (where if a umpiring allocation falls on your team for that date the person on the roster either takes the umpiring allocation or it is up to them to find a umpire to take the allocation.
