Grading Games new format 2026

Year 5&6 grading games will be played as: 2x 7-minute half games. Teams will play two games within the allocated 45 minutes. 

This is to try and help us get teams into more even pools for the round one league fixtures. 

Games will be scored via the My Netball Manager app (score codes available from your school coordinator or at the office at NHV). Scores will not be published, however this will help us to determine who goes into which grade.

At the end of the match before submitting the score please also give the match a rating:

• 1 = the players ability was evenly matched (regardless of score)
• 2 = Team A was much stronger (ability) than Team B
• 3 = Team B was much stronger (ability) than Team A.

A reminder that positions for 2026 are: GS, GA, WA, C, GD, GK.

Teams are encouraged to rotate positions a minimum of at half time of a full game. 

Players are to receive a minimum of 50% playing time per full game.
