Good to Know

Umpiring: Every team supplies its own umpire (contact umpire@stivesnetball.com.au if you need help finding one):

  • Badged umpires only for 9’s to Seniors
  • NetSetGo 5-8’s, parent umpiring is allowed

Scoring: Spring Comp will use eScoring in 2026!
Link here for the quick reference guide.
KNA has a number of other useful eScoring resources on their website. Note: As our club provides each team with an eScoring Admin login, the guidance around creating Team Manager accounts, and sharing access via temporary links is not applicable for our St Ives teams.

Uniforms: Club uniform is not mandatory for Spring Comp — feel free to wear your club colours or club uniform if you wish, but as a minimum, players must have a matching outfit (ie. same colour top/shorts). No cargo shorts, tracksuit pants, or non-tie shoelaces.

Equipment: Arrangements for collecting equipment will be advised closer to the start of the season.

Age Group exceptions: Want to play up, down, or across two teams?

  • KNA have a strict policy preventing players playing in a lower age division.  This will not be approved in any circumstances for safety reasons
  • Players who want to play in a higher age group, or in two competition teams – This must be approved in advance by the KNA Grading Committee — email Devi at registrar@stivesnetball.com.au
