Preparations for the 2022 Victorian Netball League (VNL) season have begun, with the re-signing window now open for all 10 clubs.
From Friday 1 October, clubs are able to re-sign athletes on their 2021 list. From Monday 11 October, clubs can recruit and sign any player from within the VNL system, or onboard athletes new to the VNL environment. Clubs have until Friday 21 January to complete their list.
Trials
Clubs may hold trials (pending government restrictions) for all divisions.
Players may contact/approach and trial at as many clubs as they wish.
Proposed trial dates and links to register are available here.
Offers and Acceptances
New and existing players may be offered and accept a playing position at any point across the recruitment period (from 11 Oct - 21 Jan).
To accept an offer, a player must sign the Standard Player Agreement, and complete the online player registration form.
Players should make a decision in their own time - clubs may not put pressure on a player to accept an offer.
