Season byes

Noahs ARC games will be cancelled and byes will be included if there are uneven team numbers in divisions.

Payment options

Senior sport team fees are either $63 or $70 per game, depending on your preferred payment option.

All teams playing at Cockburn ARC must be attached to a nominated credit card.  Teams may elect to pay using one of the below options:

Upfront

Pay for an entire season upfront and receive a 10% discount. A 12 week season will cost $826 ($63 per game plus a $70 team nomination fee). Recommended for all teams as the easiest and most cost effective payment option.

Weekly (at counter)

Pay weekly at the counter with an initial payment of $140, which includes your first match fee plus a $70 team nomination fee. Recommended for teams that rely on different people paying for their games each week. 
 
If you are unsure about the right payments solution for you, or would like more information about social sports at Cockburn ARC, please contact us.
 

Cancellations

At the end of the season, you can decide whether your team continues on in to the next. If you wish to withdraw mid-season, you will lose your $210.00 deposit (if paying weekly) and all remaining monies paid upfront (if paid upfront). 

No refunds will be provided unless in extenuating circumstances. 

All rules are as per the official Netball Australia rule book, with minor amendments intended to enhance the playing experience at Cockburn ARC.  Please consult your Team Sports Coordinator for specific rule clarification.
 
All participants play at their own risk.  

Teams are responsible for organising their own bibs with positions front and back.

Player and spectator behaviour

The moment you set foot in Cockburn ARC Sports Stadium, you have become a custodian of our sporting community.  Players and spectators must understand that they are just as responsible for creating a positive and inclusive environment as administrators and referees.  Anti-social and aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated by your teammates, opposition players, spectators, officials and competition organisers alike, and individuals who fail to acknowledge their responsibility to maintaining this social environment for all will only be making participation less enjoyable for themselves and others.
 
Any on or off-court incidents deemed to be anti-social will be dealt with accordingly and at the discretion of the Sports Team Leader, Programs Coordinator or and an authorised representative of the Cockburn ARC.  This may include ejection from the playing arena, short and long term suspensions, and if necessary, permanent banning from the Cockburn ARC for offending individuals and/or teams.
 

Spirit of the game

At Cockburn ARC, the focus will always be on getting games to go ahead so that all teams can enjoy the consistency of knowing they have an opposition to play each week.  This will occasionally result in cross-division fixtures, teams coming off of a bye or teams being asked to play twice in an evening.  The allocating of competition points in such cases will be managed by a Team Sports Leader.
 
We want to foster a social environment where everyone can feel like they are free to participate.  Players from any team (regardless of division) during the regular season are welcome to fill in for any other side.  However, this is only permissible when a team is short of regular players (it is an expectation that teams uphold the spirit of the game).
 
Players are welcome to feature in multiple sides during the regular season (including within the same division).  However, if a player qualifies for finals for two sides in the same division, he or she may only represent one team during the subsequent finals series (semi-finals and grand finals).
 
Referees and Sports Team Leaders reserve the right to deny a player from playing within, or ‘filling in’, for another team.  In other cases, a non-regular player may also be told that they can only play on a wing for that game.  Such decisions will be based on a perception of fairness for the opposition team, and will be a judgement call made the Referee or Sports Team Leader at the time.
