GALA DAYS - COLLEGE

Per local Gala Day a school can enter up to 6 teams.

Yes, 3 males on court at one time (1 per netball third). On the day however, if both teams agree to play with more boys on the court that is ok as well. If one team does not agree it reverts back to the ruling of 3 boys on court.

The Gala Day entry fee is a flat rate of $10 per player

The fee contributes to competition costs including covering insurance, court hire fees, first aid and administration and staffing for the event.

Netball ACT will invoice the school contact following the event.

Simply email Caitlin Hanna at caitlin.hanna@netballact.com.au with the details of the action required.

Yes, each school will need to fill out an individual team list form per team they enter. This form includes the names of all students attending and participating in the Gala Day. This form must be completed prior to the first game at 9:30am. The form may be submitted prior to the event via email or on the day during the team manager’s meeting.

The draw for the event is impartial and does not take into account previous year's results.

Netball ACT will organize the participating teams into 2-4 pools, depending on the number of teams present on the day. Each pool will be assigned a specific timeslot. For instance, Pool A and C will be scheduled during timeslot A, while Pool B and D will play during timeslot B. In cases where a school has entered multiple teams, whenever feasible, Netball ACT will attempt to allocate the teams to different pools and, consequently, different timeslots

Yes, for every team a school enters they must be able to provide an umpire. This umpire can be a teacher, older student or parent. We do ask that umpires selected have at least a basic understanding of the rules. If you are struggling to find an umpire, please reach out to Netball ACT.

Where possible the draw will be sent to the school contact 2 days prior to the event. Please note that an amended draw may need to be created the day before or on the day due to last minute changes.

- School teams will need to supply their own bibs/patches and a netball. If your school is struggling to supply these items, please reach out to Netball ACT.

- Umpires will need to bring their own whistle.

- Schools who need shade or cover will need to bring their own marquees and ensure they are weighed down or pegged down to be safe.

Netball ACT will monitor the weather forecast and will postpone by 8am the morning of the event. All school contacts will be notified via email if this occurs.

Netball ACT will then release a new suggested date for the Gala Day.

Teachers and students are welcome to arrive at the courts from 8:15am.
