The key features in the selection process are transparency, flexibility and fairness, improved communication and ongoing review for quality and consistency.

Players successfully selected to represent NDWHA will be invoiced a nomination fee through Revolutionise. This levy covers the administrative costs associated with the HNSW team nomination, umpiring and up to 4 hours of training sessions. 

As there is plenty of time to book accommodation, reservations will be the responsibility of each travelling athlete. No accommodation will be reserved by/for NDWHA athletes.

Athletes are expected to:

• Arrive with time before their trial & mark off their name

• Find allocated bib/singlet / write trial number on arms and legs

• Be dressed, warmed up and be ready for stick/ball at start time. 

• Athletes cool down following the end of the sessions

All players and parents will be expected to abide by the NDWHA Code of Conduct.

Nominating position preferences

Please consider carefully, and talk to your child about nominations.

• Athletes often ask to trial differently to what their parents have nominated.
• We often get an overwhelming amount of nominations for Attacking/Defensive Midfielders and can only select a handful in each team. 
• Please note that coaches/selectors may see potential in an athlete for an alternative position as to what has been nominated. This is a great opportunity for an athlete to grow and develop their skills

How field playing positions are considered:

Striker – includes a left, centre and right (also traditionally referred to as ‘left/right wing’ and ‘centre forward’). Strikers are expected to play in any of these.

Midfield – attacking/defensive - includes a left, centre and right (also traditionally referred to as ‘left/right inner’ and ‘centre half’).

Half – includes left and right, these are outside defenders.

Defender – includes a high (free defender/defensive midfielder) and low, these are central defenders (also traditionally referred to as fullbacks).
