RNA
A graded competition for women run on Saturday Afternoons in Winter and Tuesday evenings in Summer
Randwick Netball Association (RNA) is affiliated with Netball NSW and run a club-based competition every year.
Winter Comp is played from April to September on Saturdays. Senior games are played at 1:20 and 2:40 pm, alternating each week.
Summer Comp is played from October to December on Tuesdays, with games played at 6:30 and 7:30 pm, alternating each week.
UNSW field many teams in the RNA competition, with at least 1 team in every grade.
Every year new players are graded at sessions during the first week of uni, so we know what team to put you into.
We let you decide straight-up whether you would like to be in a team that trains or one that doesn't. All players wishing to train are placed in teams for whom training becomes compulsory. Those who can't or don't want to make the committment to training are graded into separate teams who never need to come to training at all but who can just turn up if they ever feel like a run around. Training is normally Wednesday nights at Moore Park but can be altered to suit teams and coaches.
SOCIAL COMP
A womens and mixed social netball competition at Moore Park on Tuesday and Thursday Nights
Games are played all year round, with one comp played on a Tuesday night and another played on a Thursday night. Both womens and mixed are available on each night. This is a purely social comp, with pretty much ALL standards from the totally hopeless to the very good.
The comps go for 12 weeks, including finals, and a new comp will start literally the week after an old comp finishes so you get continuous netball if you want to keep going. Occasionally this comp can be a little bit disorganised during the first week or so till things settle down and sometimes the umpiring is also what you might call "social" but it's for a fun comp so it always ends up OK.
MENS COMP
A graded mixed and mens comp played at Sydney University on a Sunday evening.
The number of divisions depend on the number of teams registered. The lowest standard teams are suitable (with training) for those who have only played social previously, while the highest standard teams are full of players who can mix it with our national team!
Training is compulsory for our mens teams. Men's netball is quite different from mixed netball and this Men's Comp is highly competitive.
UNIVERSITY GAMES
A prestigious event where Universities are pitted against each other in over 40 sports.
Teams are sent to a qualifying event (Eastern University Games) in July to attempt to qualify for the biggest event of the year, the Australian University Games. In order to qualify and do well, the average standard of our womens team is approximately State League Division 3 and for our mixed team is at least A-Grade grandfinal standard.
Each year, we select the best of our UNSW players to compete at IV events. The week is very full on, both on and off the court. There are many social events and every year our players come back saying it was one the best weeks of their university lives! All players selected into our IV teams are listed on our Club Honours page as it is a prestigious team to be a part of. |
