FAQ
How can I join AUNC?
We're always looking for new members!
Our winter season registrations usually open around February, with trials being held in early March. Keep an eye on our social media pages or join our mailing list for updates. In summer, we let girls form and nominate their own teams (a bit like social netball!), keep an eye out for details on how to nominate in August.
How much are AUNC Fees?
As a non-profit club, we strive to keep our fees as affordable as possible. Fees vary by season, and we provide updated costs annually. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need more information.
For insurance purposes, players must also purchase an Adelaide University Sport membership (which lasts for 1 year - e.g. if you play winter and summer, you only pay the membership fee once):
AU Student Membership: $11(For Adelaide University students only)
University Membership: $71.50 (For staff, Adelaide University graduates, and other university students)
Associate Membership: $93.50 (For those who have no link to a University)
Do you do payment plans?
We sure do! If you think you'll have trouble paying your fees on time have a chat to our treasurer and we can sort out a payment plan for you.
Do I have to go to Adelaide uni or be a student to play for AUNC?
No! Anyone can play for AUNC and we have many members from all walks of life!
Where do you play?
We play at the SA United Church Netball Association (SAUCNA) on Saturday afternoons during winter. During the summer season, we play at the SA United Church Netball Association (SAUCNA) on Wednesday nights.
When do you train?
We train during the winter season only on Wednesday nights at SA United Church Netball Association (SAUCNA)
I haven't played netball before/in a long time, can i still join?
If you haven’t played in a while you can absolutely join! We field teams in a range of divisions making playing for AUNC suitable for all abilities. If you have never played before, joining a team will unfortunately be dependent on the number of coaches and their coaching ability for that season. You are still welcome to come to trials and give it a go, however trials are usually based on gameplay, and therefore some prior knowledge is needed.
How much do uniforms cost?
The only compulsory part of our uniform is the netball dress, which is usually around $90. We also have other merchandise available for purchase, including socks, hoodies, rugby shirts, training singlets and beanies. Uniforms and merchandise will be available for purchase for a few weeks before the winter and summer seasons begin. Stay tuned to our socials for the ordering dates.
Do you have social events during the year?
Of course! We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment both on and off the court through various events such as pub crawls, quiz nights, team and training dinners, presentation nights, Bunnings barbecues, and Suncorp Super Netball watch nights!
Can I enter my own team?
Not in winter, we hold trials and girls are placed into appropriate teams by our selectors. In summer, you absolutely can! We allow girls to form and nominate their own teams as they wish.
What grades do you play in?
We field teams in a range of grades, making playing for AUNC suitable for all levels! We have previously had teams ranging from A1 to C4 at the SAUCNA competition.
Do I have to train or can I just play?
In winter, all selected girls must attend all Wednesday night trainings in order to take the court on Saturdays. If you cannot attend training, your coach reserves the right to give you less game time. We do not train in summer.
