Warrnambool City Netball Association full steam ahead for 2023 season

Association administrator Marg Morgan said the new format was implemented to encourage children who hadn't played before to participate. Previously, players would register in teams, however Morgan said that format hindered some players from wanting to join if they didn't already have a team.

Players can nominate one friend they would like in their team, which will be used to assist the association in making up squads.

The junior competition - which includes under 11s, 13 and under and 15 and under age groups - is played on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, with registrations to close Sunday, February 5.

Players will be advised of their teams by Friday, February 10 with games to commence from Tuesday, February 14.

The association is also looking for expressions of interest from junior coaches.

"It is most important we have coaches to guide our junior players and we have teams who will be looking for guidance," Morgan said.

Meanwhile, the association's Net Set Go program will be run on a different day in 2023.

The program, which is led by Chelsea Quinn, will run on Friday nights, with tier one starting at 4pm and tier two from 5pm.

The Netball Victoria's Association Championships will again be hosted by WCNA.

The association's selections dates have been set for the end of March and start of April.

WCNA's senior women's summer season recommences on Tuesday, February 7 and culminates in a grand final the last week of term one.

Mixed netball registrations are also open for the term one competition, with round one set for Wednesday, February 8.
