Running better trials
Practical guidance for netball clubs — free to read, whether or not you use NetballOS.
Guides are being written. The topics below are in preparation. Register your interest and we will let you know as they are published.
How many courts do you actually need?
The arithmetic behind trial capacity: players, courts, rounds and runs per player — and how to tell before trial day that your plan will not work.
Fair court time at a netball trial
What fairness means when you have eighty players and six rounds, and why random allocation reliably produces unfair results.
Reducing bias in selection
Why selectors should not see each other’s scores, how anchoring works, and what to do when a panel genuinely disagrees.
Position-specific assessment
Assessing a goal keeper on shooting tells you nothing. Building criteria that suit each of the seven positions.
Safeguarding for netball clubs
Who should be able to see what, why medical and safeguarding information should be separated, and what to record.
Handling children’s data properly
Consent, guardians, minimisation and retention — in plain language, for club volunteers.
