Team Nominations

Nominate a Team

All team nominations for HDNA competitions are made via NetballConnect. Please follow the appropriate instructions below depending on whether you are nominating teams for your club/school or entering an independent team.

Independent Teams

STEP 1
Complete your 2026 HDNA Affiliation Form and pay the annual social membership fee. You must complete the form before nominating your FIRST team each year only. The affiliation is not current until your fee has been received by HDNA. Click HERE to access the form.

STEP 2

Follow the step-by-step instructions in the NetballConnect guide for independent teams (see purple button below) to nominate your team. The guide also explains how to add and remove team members and check who has registered. If your team members have an existing NetballConnect user profile you MUST use the exact same email address and spelling of their name as their profile. If you guess and get it wrong you could cost them additional fees, so please take the time to double-check.

Once you add your team members via the app they will receive an email or text from NetballConnect containing a personal link they must use to register to your team before the first game.

STEP 3
Complete the Independent Team Information Form and send it to competitionsconvenor@hdna.net.au so we can grade your team appropriately.

STEP 4
Read the relevant competition rules and information document found at hdna.net.au/competitions.

STEP 5
Make sure your team members have registered before their first game and have a great season!
