Selection process
We go through a very thorough selection process to finalise our teams and players will be placed in a team that our selectors have determined best suits their ability and experience. While inevitably there will be some movement of players, both up and down teams, it is important to remember that this movement can be a result of the following factors:
- New players who didn’t play last year can also create movement for other players, especially if they are placed in a higher team, resulting in other players moving down to a lower team.
- Individual development and growth over the summer months. If individual players have put in an extra effort and completed additional training over the holiday, this can definitely show during trials, resulting in higher performance on the court and some movement between teams.
We understand that some students will have questions regarding the trial process and eventually the team selection – if your child does, please ask them to see Anna in the sports office.
As per our Sports Selection Policy, no correspondence regarding team selection will be entered into. If you wish to view it, please download the document at the bottom of this page.
SnowPlanet
For further information regarding snow sports at the local 'slope', please go to Snow Planet.
There are sessions after school, on the weekends, at night, in the holidays - plenty to choose from.
Snow Planet also provide many training options.
Coaches, managers & umpires
Each Snow Sports team will need a manager for each event, this does not need to be the same person each event. You will be the contact person at the event for NX as a staff member will not be present for the whole day. If you are interested in being the manager for Snow Sports, please indicate this on registration.
All coaches and managers are required to be police vetted by Northcross. If you are keen to take on one of these roles and have not yet been police vetted by our school, please email the Sport Department and we will send you through the relevant forms to fill out.
