Masters Representative Program
Women’s and Mixed Masters, where a formal selection process is required.

Selection period: March 2027

Selectors may be appointed to one or multiple selection processes depending on their experience, availability, conflicts of interest and the needs of the overall Representative Program.

Submitting an Expression of Interest does not guarantee appointment to a selection panel.

Applicants should only nominate for programs where they can reasonably commit to the relevant selection period and required trial sessions.

PRNA is looking for selectors who can contribute positively and objectively to the selection process.

Our selectors should be:

• Knowledgeable – demonstrating a strong understanding of netball, positions and the requirements of representative competition.
• Objective – assessing athletes on what is demonstrated throughout the selection process.
• Observant – able to identify technical ability, game understanding, movement, decision making and athlete potential.
• Collaborative – willing to discuss observations constructively as part of a selection panel.
• Consistent – applying the agreed selection criteria fairly across athletes.
• Professional – conducting themselves appropriately throughout the process.
• Discreet – maintaining confidentiality regarding athletes, discussions and selection decisions.
• Open-minded – willing to consider different perspectives and avoid preconceived opinions about athletes.
• Reliable – available for the selection sessions to which they have committed.

Selectors should approach every selection process with the aim of making decisions that are in the best interests of the athletes, teams and overall PRNA Representative Program.

Selectors may consider a range of areas including:

Technical skills | Positional ability | Movement | Game understanding | Decision making | Teamwork | Communication | Versatility | Coachability | Attitude | Development potential | Team combinations

Selection is based on an athlete's performance across the overall selection process, rather than one moment or one game.

Selectors should be available for the full selection process where possible, including relevant trials, briefings and final selection discussions.

No individual selector selects a team independently. Final selections are determined through the agreed PRNA selection process and collective consideration of the selection panel.

All appointed selectors must also meet any applicable Blue Card, child safety, safeguarding and PRNA compliance requirements.

Selectors must declare any actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest before the selection process wherever possible.

This may include a family member participating in selections, a close personal relationship with an athlete or family, or a current coaching relationship.

PRNA will determine how any conflict is managed to protect the fairness and integrity of the selection process.

All athlete assessments, selector notes, panel discussions and selection decisions are confidential and must not be discussed outside the authorised selection process.

Selectors must not provide athletes, parents, coaches or others with unofficial information regarding an athlete's performance or likelihood of selection.

Interested in contributing to the 2027 PRNA Representative Program as a selector?

Expressions of Interest are now open for selection opportunities across:

Submitting an Expression of Interest does not guarantee appointment. Selection panels will be formed based on experience, availability, independence and the needs of the overall Representative Program.

Expressions of Interest close Wednesday 9 September 2026.
