Our Junior Competition is split into two age groups – Net Set Go and Divisional. NSG is for players under the age of 10. The colours within NSG generally indicate age and ability.
BLUE is for players aged 5-7 years and is a fun skills-based program not played in teams or clubs. This is offered for a shorter season and families register directly with SCNA.
GREEN is for beginner players aged 7 and above and is generally the first year of playing netball in a team. Games are played with modified rules, no scores are kept and no ladder recorded.
GOLD is for more experienced beginners aged about 8 (if you played Green last year, you generally progress to a Gold team) and games are played with modified rules, with new rules introduced each week. No scores are kept and no ladder recorded.
WHITE is for players aged under 10 who have generally played for a couple of years and have perhaps already played Green and Gold (or can sometimes be for 9 or 10 year old players who are new to netball). Ages and playing levels are not strictly applied as players can start netball at different ages and with varying abilities. Games are played with full rules but no scores are kept and no ladder recorded.
Once players turn 10, they generally move to the Divisional competition which is abilities-based and the club conducts gradings to form teams of a similar ability.

In 2025, all teams will train on Tuesday afternoon, either at the Mooloolaba School court or at the Fishermans Rd courts. We appreciate that for primary school players, the school court is more convenient. Once teams are formed, if players and coach agree on an alternate time that suits everyone this may be changed. Note that only two teams can train at the one time at the school court. Teams will be formed with the assumption that all players can make a Tuesday training time.

All teams play on a Saturday morning at Fishermans Rd courts in Maroochydore and the games will be played at the same time each week. In previous years, the first round commences at 7:30am and the last round commences at 2:30pm. Net Set Go Green, Gold and White teams tend to play in the last two rounds of the day. We cannot predict which teams will be in what division until after all teams are submitted and divisional teams are graded.

There are two grading rounds for Divisional teams in mid March. Fixtures for all teams commence after the Easter school holidays and run until mid August. The finals series for Divisional teams runs over the following three weekends for teams that finish in the top 4 places. Grand finals are played early September.

In Net Set Go, we make every attempt to keep friendship groups together where it is practical. There is the provision on the registration form to list friends you’d like to be in a team with. We do need to balance team numbers and we strive for a maximum of 9 players per team so friendship groups may sometimes need to be split between teams. NSG is all about having fun and learning new skills. In Divisional, SCNA run an abilities based competition (rather than aged based) so we grade all our players aged 10 and above. Once we have formed teams, these will also be graded by SCNA to decide on their most appropriate division. NSG White teams are grouped based on ability into A, B and C competitions.

All fees must be paid before players can take the court and are paid in full at registration. This is a requirement by Netball Queensland so that all players have insurance cover from the start of the season. Mooloolaba Reds has a no refunds policy.
