Frequently Asked Questions
Here’s a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and answers tailored for new players (or their parents) wanting to join a club like Illusions Netball Club. These are common questions with relevant explanations and supporting links from Netball WA or Netball Australia, where applicable.
Where can I find the Illusions Netball Club Code of Behaviour?
You can find the full Code of Behaviour on our website using the link below. It outlines the expectations for all members — including players, coaches, parents, and supporters — and reflects our core values of respect, fairness, inclusion, and responsibility.
What seasons does Illusions Netball Club play in, and how can I register?
Illusions Netball Club plays in both the Winter and Spring seasons through Swans Netball Association. Winter is our main competitive season, running from March to August, with Saturday games and weekly training. Spring is a shorter, more relaxed season from October to December, perfect for new or returning players who want a fun, social experience.
We welcome players of all ages and skill levels. Registration is done through PlayHQ, and we’ll help guide you through the process.
How do I register my child to play at Illusions Netball Club?
Registrations are generally done online through PlayHQ or directly through our website during the registration period. We also announce registration days on our social media platforms.
If you're new, reach out via our contact form and we'll guide you step by step!
What equipment does my child need?
To get started, all they need is:
-
Proper sports shoes
-
Comfortable activewear or club uniform (purchased after joining)
-
A water bottle and positive attitude!
We’ll let you know when uniforms are available and if any additional gear is required for training.
What day and time are games played?
Most junior games are played on Saturdays, while older age groups may have midweek evening games. Training is usually held once or twice a week, and we’ll provide a schedule before the season begins.
What if my child has never played netball before?
No problem at all! We welcome beginners and have experienced coaches to help new players learn the basics in a supportive, fun environment.
How are teams selected?
We hold grading sessions at the start of the season to group players by skill level and age. This helps us ensure balanced teams and a positive experience for everyone.
We aim to keep friends together where possible, especially in younger age groups.
Are there opportunities to play representative or advanced netball?
Yes. Players showing strong potential and commitment may be invited to trial for representative teams, including development squads, WANL pathways, or association carnivals.
We encourage all players to aim high while enjoying the journey.
What if I want to volunteer or help out?
We’d love that! Clubs rely on volunteers — whether it’s coaching, managing, scoring, or helping with events. Let us know your interest and we’ll point you in the right direction.
