obtain a working with children check. Over the coming weeks, working with children forms will be
available from the clubrooms for collection. If you intend to coach or manage a team for this
season you will be required to obtain your Working with Children Check before you can commence
working with the children associated with the Cockburn Netball Club Inc. If you already have a
WWC please provide NIKKI GREEN with a copy of your form, ensuring you are exempt from
obtaining a clearance this season
Do I qualify for an exemption?
If any of the following apply to you then you may not need a WWC Check. Are you:
• A volunteer under 18 years?
• A parent volunteering in certain activities where your child is also involved?
• An employer of children, or working alongside fellow workers who are children and who is not
doing any other type of child-related work?
• A person supervising volunteers who are children?
• A short term visitor to Western Australia?

Not Returning Equipment
If you have not returned your equipment for
last season, please return it ASAP. Ian is
currently preparing our stock for this season
and we still have teams who have failed to
return equipment.
This costs the Club money as the items need
to be replaced which could potentially
increase fees for the following season.
Contact Ian on 0411 033 900 if you need to
return your equipment!

JUNIOR GRADING for SEASON 2015
There have been numerous requests for girls to play out of their own age groups for season
2015. The following information contains the guidelines of the grading procedures used by the
Fremantle Netball Association for the winter competition. These guidelines are also stipulated and
endorsed by Netball WA.
 Teams are graded by age base (not size) and clubs are requested to keep players of the same
age together. Grades are based on the age you turn in 2015,
JUNIOR A GRADE – Turning 15 years in the calendar year / born in 2000
JUNIOR B GRADE – Turning 14 years in the calendar year / born in 2001
JUNIOR C GRADE – Turning 13 years in the calendar year / born in 2002
JUNIOR D GRADE – Turning 12 years in the calendar year / born in 2003
JUNIOR E GRADE – Turning 11 years in the calendar year / born in 2004
JUNIOR F GRADE – Turning 10 years in the calendar year / born in 2005
JUNIOR G GRADE – Turning 9 years in the calendar year / born in 2006
JUNIOR H GRADE – Turning 8 years in the calendar year / born in 2007
 Ability,
 If age groups are mixed the team is graded into the bottom grade of the oldest child. E.g. if you
were to have a team of 15 and 14 years old in one team, the team would be placed in the bottom
of grade.
Based on the information above, in most occasions girls will be required to play in their own age
group; this is the age group in which they turn for season 2015.
For further enquiries, please contact the Secretary on 0415.817.335 or [email protected]
