Last night BLGNA decided that they were not going to allow girls turning 7 in the year of competition to play. Netball SA have stated that they will allow players aged 6 and 7 to play but BLGNA have not employed this decision. The girls have already registered, started training and bought uniforms and are now being told they cannot play. My daughter has played organised netball since she was 5 and also done NetSetGo for 2 years and was so excited to be able to play with BLGNA this year. Other associations are allowing 6 and 7 year olds to play but we have now missed registrations and the opportunity to play anywhere else as teams have been finalised. This decision has significantly affect the opportunity for my daughter to play as the girls she was playing with (some younger than her)have all joined clubs at either Golden Grove or Adelaide Metro and this is no longer an option. This may not affect your club, your child or someone you know this year but it may in the future. Please sign this petition for me to attach to a letter I will be sending to the association ASAP. Thanks

Absolutely ridiculous decision made too late. Why stop some passionate little kids from being active and learning about the sport they love especially when they have already played for a few years!
Strongly feel that girls should be able to play at 6 or 7 years of age
this is ridiculous. Of course 7 yr olds should be allowed to play when turning the age in that year and before start of season too!

I think most certainly kids of a young age should be allowed to play. If I remember correctly me and my sister were under the age of 5 when we first started back in the day at South. You can't deny a child to want to play sport. I think a reasonable age is 5.
All of my children played netball from aged 5 and loved the team spirit

Former 15+ year player for Tanunda Netball Club. Moved to Adelaide and now my 7 year old daughter (born 2009) is playing in the SADNA Winter Competition for North East Zodiacs Netball Club. Not fair that other children the same age can't play for their chosen club!!
