2026 TRIALS INFORMATION

Two trial sessions will be held for all teams. Players are highly encouraged to attend all trials to ensure you have the best chance to be seen by selectors and coaches.

All trials are held at the Ākau Tangi Sports Centre (formerly ASB Sports Centre) (72 Kemp Street, Kilbirnie).

Group warm-up will be held at the start so please try to arrive 15 minutes prior to the start time. We ask that you please make yourself known when you arrive at the courts so your name can be ticked off as being ‘present’ at the trials and we can placed into the trial teams. 

Trials run for 2 hours in a typical game format.

Registrations are open and will close two days prior to each trial. 

Once registered you must attend both trials unless you confirm with us otherwise. The trial fee is $20 and is part of your fees for 2026. Please note this is non-refundable even if you trial but choose not to play for SMOG.

Reference: include Name and 'trial'

When you complete your registration form, be sure to include your netball history so we can see which grade you would fit best. Otherwise please get in touch with us at smognetball@gmail.com and we can assist you. 

If you are trialling for other clubs, that’s absolutely fine! But please do kindly let us know at trials if you are doing this, as once we confirm our teams and name them on our SMOG Website, these team lists are then sent onto Netball Wellington Centre fairly quickly to be locked in as a registered player under the SMOG Netball Club for 2026.

If you are unable to trial, please email smognetball@gmail.com to discuss. Please note that we expect all players to trial, unless there are extenuating circumstances that prevent trialling (placement in a team will be determined at the discretion of the SMOG committee).
