Please find below a breakdown of the HVGS Netball Fees:

At the 1998 HVGS Netball Club Annual General Meeting a decision was made to PAY the students to umpire for our Club. These girls MUSTattend 3-4 umpires training sessions (to start in February after school) and subsequently they will be rostered to umpire weekly for any Hunter Valley Grammar School team.

This has many benefits namely:

-Eliminating pressure on players to umpire when they desperately do not want to,

-Providing leadership and qualification for those who enjoy umpiring,

-Increasing the standard of Hunter Valley Grammar School umpires.

-However, if the pool of volunteer umpires is insufficient to meet the needs of the club other team players will be called upon to fill umpiring gaps.

-Each team faces up to $50 fine for not fulfilling this umpiring duty

In order to achieve this payment system each player from Juniorand Senior teams will be asked to contribute $55 umpires fee and Net-Set-Goto pay $27. This is a much more efficient method of payment rather than collecting money every match. If this is a concern please do not withhold your daughter’s registration but contact me so we can discuss the matter further.
