What does it cost?

Netball Victoria requires each player to be registered through them in order to cover the player for injury etc. These fees are known as NVM Fees. This is paid annually and covers the player for any Netball Victoria sanctioned competition and is additional to our club fees. This fee needs to be paid before the player can train and play with our club. If you pay for Autumn, you won’t be charged this fee again for Spring.
