). Please take time to read this information prior to committing to trials so you fully understand your commitment to GNC and our responsibility to you in the 2024/25 season.
These trials are open to those currently playing for GNC as well as external trialists. League rules dictate that players must be at least 13 years old on 31.08.24. Although GNC are not putting a specific age requirement in place, the U16 Regional League is a competitive league with a high standard of netball. We expect trialists to have a good level of fitness and be highly committed to contributing to the squad at a high level. Due to the competitive nature of the league and intensity of games, players cannot expect to play full games or to necessarily have parity of court time. Being part of the squad is an amazing opportunity for development but we would ask that you only sign up for trials if prepared to commit to the above.
What days do GNC train and play?
GNC's U16 RL squad trains indoors at Taunton School on a Wednesday, 5.45 - 6.45pm . *Please note this is a different training day to last year to accommodate better transition between our junior and senior RL sides.*
Fixtures are played on a Sunday.
Who are the 2024/25 selectors?
The following valued club members will select GNC's squads for the coming season:
Jacqui Manning (Head U16 RL coach), Polly Land and Abbie Barker.
What dates will trials be held on and how will trials work?
The dates for trials are as follows:
- Tuesday 18th June, 7-8.30pm @ Taunton Vale Sports Club (sports hall)
- Tuesday 25th June, 7-8.30pm @ Taunton Vale Sports Club (sports hall)
We are mindful that these trials fall within the GCSE exam period. If you have any concerns regarding the timing of trials and exams, please contact selectors, or indicate this on the trial form to follow.
Please note, due to an already full waiting list, any unsuccessful trialist who is not already a member of GNC WILL NOT be offered a space in GNC's U16 Somerset Squad. Any unsuccessful trialist who is a returning GNC member WILL be offered a space in GNC's U16 Somerset Squad.
What do I do if I cannot make the trial dates but still want to be included in a team?If you are unable to attend due to extenuating circumstances (e.g. injury) please email the GNC Selectors at
galmingtonncjuniors@gmail.com. You may remain in contention for selection, attending a trial on an alternative date as arranged with selectors e.g. pre-season. A trial fee will still have to be paid. Please complete this survey and tick the relevant box when prompted.
Will I need to pay a trial fee?
A non-refundable fee of £20 MUST BE PAID by BACS ahead of trials. This amount contributes to the hire of courts, payment to umpires and covers all of your pre-season training throughout August (dates tbc).
PLEASE NOTE IF YOU ARE TRIALING FOR A GNC SENIOR TEAM, YOU WILL ONLY NEED TO PAY THIS TRIAL FEE ONCE. THEREFORE IT WILL COST A MAXIMUM OF £20 TO TRIAL FOR ANY GNC TEAM (SENIOR OR JUNIOR)
BACS payments should be labelled according to the following format "FIRST INITIAL.LAST NAME TRIALS" e.g. "L.REEVES TRIALS'.
