The Rouse Hill Rams Netball Division is part of the Baulkham Hills Shire Netball Association. Clubs within this association are required to grade their players to ensure that teams play with and against players of similar skill and ability. Grading is carried out by a panel of committee members and and if available independant experienced graders who volunteer their time. Players are assessed on their all round netball abilities and information provided by the previous seasons coaches. Grading will take place in during February and only players that have registered and paid in full, will be eligible to be graded.

Training is at the Kellyville courts located at Wellgate Ave, Kellyville. We hire the use of these courts from Baulkham Hills Shire Netball Association and hence training days are not something we can confirm prior to Muster Day. Muster Day is when training days are discussed and generally decided by the team as a whole, but in the end, it does come down to the day that best suits the coach, who is volunteering their time. Training times are generally between 4.30pm and 8.30pm.
Training is compulsary for all players aged 7 - 14 years of age.

For the NetSetGo division – yes absolutely.
For Under 10s and above, the club will consider friend requests, however, it is important to note that if the children are not of the same playing ability as determined by grading, they will be placed in the lower child’s division. The club does recommend that children play in the division that they are most suited to, and our experience shows that they have a better experience all around and do make friends throughout the season.
If you would like to friend request, please see the form under the "resources" tab and email a completed form to the secretary@ramsnetball.com.au
