ERNA Winter Day Comp 2026 - Calendar Update

The start of the competition has been delayed by a week. It will now commence on: 

9 May 2026.

Bluebelles registrations will still close on 22 March.

Email lists are still being updated, so if you have passed on the information about registration, please also pass this information on.

From ERNA: (also; an update on the new facility is reproduced on the news page)

You may have noticed through various channels that the operator for our new facility has now been confirmed as part of the latest project update from Schools Infrastructure (SI):

• West_Ryde_MSF_-_Project_update_-_March_2026_-_operator_award

 While we have a user agreement in place with SI, the Y (as the operator) will take control of that agreement and thus we are meeting with both SI and the Y on a regular basis.

In the most recent meeting, this week, we’ve been advised that 2 May is too early for guaranteed availability of the new venue. We therefore have no choice but to defer the start of our Winter Day Competition 2026 by one week. 

• Round 1 will be on Saturday 9 May and we will push the entire season by one week.

• The Grand Final will now be on Saturday 19 September (which is still before the school holidays).  There will not be a wet weather back-up date.

• Due to Easter and School Holidays in April, the pre-season rego / grading dates will not change.

• The ERNA website and PlayHQ will be updated to match ASAP.

Rest assured we have not taken this decision lightly and are continuing to push SI and the Y as hard as we possibly can.

Thanks for your continued support with finalising registrations and team formation and patience while we get our awesome new facility fully ready.

2026 Netball - at long last

Registrations for Bluebelles is now open 2026 registration.

Competition starts 2 May and runs to 12 September (includes Finals). 

Registration Information 

Registrations are open and will close on 20 March 2026 to allow time to process teams to ERNA (The Club can only register teams not individual players with ERNA). If you are uncertain if you are returning to Bluebelles or cannot register immediately, please advise by email so that a position in a team can be kept for you. Requests from new players to join the Club across the age groups have been received

Registration Fees for Winter Day Competition. Fees paid by MBNC players are:

• Seniors $282.00, 

• Juniors $247.00 and 

• Set/Go $190.00

Fees have increased by $5. This reflects increases from Associated organisations (Netball Australia, NNSW and ERNA). However, this year the Club has subsidised some of these increases. For example - as forecast last year ERNA had an a larger increase than previously (25% more than last year).   

Fees include payment to umpires. The breakdown of NA, NNSW, ERNA and MBNC fees are visible at registration in PlayHQ.

Fees must be paid at the time of registration on PlayHQ. PlayHQ will not accept registrations without payment. There are a range of payment options available including paying in instalments. Check you are paying the correct amount before submitting.

If you are unable to pay but want to register, you should contact Lila Larsen (bluebelles.netball@gmail.com) to discuss other options.

Registration Process

Registrations can only be completed online via Play HQ: 

• Please ensure you select the right role.

• Select 12 month membership duration option.

• When you get to the checkout PlayHQ will apply a service fee.

• Before you submit check you are paying the correct amount.

The link for registering is:   2026 registration

It is the same link for Seniors (18 years and older), Juniors (9 – 17 years old) and Set/Go (6 – 9 years old) and Volunteers (ie non players, these are our Coaches, Team Managers and other volunteers such as committee members, umpires etc who are not playing).

You register in your age group 6-17 years, regardless of where you may end up playing. It is the age you turn in 2026.

Don’t forget - If you are eligible for an Active Kids Voucher (AKV), remember you must obtain the ID number prior to registering, as it will need to be entered into the payment page in PlayHQ to claim your rebate. It cannot be applied retrospectively. 

 If you haven’t registered in PlayHQ before 

If you are new, you should get a prompt to create a PlayHQ account with your details, even if you are registering a child. Once you have completed the account form, a verification code will be sent to your email address. You can only have one email address, so please ensure you use your primary email address as all correspondence will be directed to this address. 

You can add all family members under this account so registration should be easier in the future.

Having created your account, go back to the link 2026 registration to start the actual registration process.

If you already have an account and can’t access it - contact Lila Larsen (bluebelles.netball@gmail.com)  in the first instance.
