Updating Membership Registration Prices
It is exciting to see some of our affiliates planning competitions in the coming weeks, particularly in Regional Victoria. This is a reminder you will need to adjust your registration forms to reflect the amended membership prices for the remainder of 2020. Junior, Senior and All Abilities membership prices will be reduced by 50%. If you have clubs that manage their own membership products they will also need to make this adjustment. Please note there will be no change to the cost of an Off the Court membership or a Single Game Voucher.

Technology Project - Progress Update
As outlined in previous Club News, the process to select a MyNetball alternative is moving along well. The working group have finished the robust testing and review of both WSA and PlayHQ platforms and community groups have provided feedback on both platforms. The working group has meet with the sub committee and have given recommendations. The sub committee is made up of leaders within the netball community, NV board members and NV staff. The sub committee will discuss the recommendations, the business implications and other important factors and decide upon a preferred vendor. They will then present this to the board for a decision.
We look forward to announcing the new provider in the next few months. In the meantime, should you have any questions please contact a member of the Affiliate Services team.
