Toowoomba's Rep Netball
Toowoomba Netball Association (TNA) consider representative netball to be a progression in
a player's development. It provides the opportunity for players to further learn the importance
of teamwork; aid in building self-confidence through development of skills; provide another
path to develop friendships; and learn about the commitment and effort required to be
successful. It is part of the pathway towards playing at the highest standard attainable.

The Inter-District (ID) comp is a carnival based comp for representative players from all associations across the Darling Downs. The competition includes two grading carnivals followed by two divisional carnivals and a finals series played at the 5th carnival at the completion of the divisional rounds.
The ID series is run by the Darling Downs Netball Association and offers a quality representative netball experience to teams from ages 10 to Open throughout our region.

Trials
Trials for our GBNL, State Age and Inter-District teams are generally conducted during terms 3 or 4 and consist of 2 phases.
- Phase one – Squad Selections: Conducted over two or three sessions. TNA “lead coaches” selecting in phase one will not include coaches assigned to that age group. A squad of up to 30 players deemed of standard will be selected for a State Age squad. There is no limit applied to the number of players of standard selected for the Inter-district squad

Selectors in phase two will include the coaches assigned to that age group along with a lead coach within TNA from outside that age group.
