There’s nothing we love more than seeing our players return for another season with Floreat Force Netball Club! 💚💙
Returning Players do not need to complete an Expression of Interest (EOI) form. Eligible members will receive a direct invitation to complete their Season Registration once registrations open in October.
A Returning Player is a player who was a financial member of the club in the previous season, meaning all club fees were paid in full.
If a player has taken a season off, they are no longer considered a Returning Player and will need to follow the New Player process.
Siblings of Returning Players who are new to Floreat Force Netball Club can also be included in the Season Registration. This allows eligible school-aged players to receive the applicable sibling discount.
However, new Year 7 and Year 8 players who are siblings of a Returning Player must first complete the New Player process and participate in trials. Once this process has been completed, they can then be included in the Season Registration.

Grading
Grading involves a series of sessions where independent graders observe players participating in a number of short games. Players are given the opportunity to play in different positions for Year 5 or nominated positions for Year 6-12, and graders assess their skills and performance while making notes.
You can learn more about FFNC Grading here.
What happens if i miss grading or team selection?
If a Returning Player misses the Grading and team selection process, they will need to register via the EOI form as a New Player here.
This form is used to source additional players when required. However, because places may be filled during the registration and team selection process. Returning Players are strongly encouraged to register as soon as registrations open to ensure their place at the club is secured.
