Samford Netball Club

Over the years our Club has experienced significant growth and with that growth the need to formalise a set of policies/guidelines has arisen.  These are have been designed to:

1. help members understand what the processes and procedures are in various circumstances;
2. ensure that our Club operates in an open and transparent fashion; 
3. create equal opportunity to all members;

These set of policies also help the volunteers on the committee to ensure the club runs in a consistent and predictable manner over the years and as the committee members change.

• Grading Appeals Procedure
  
• Grading Subcommittee and Grading Policy
  
• Open Teams Policy
