New Players (inc those who haven't played for Grange in Winter)
New players will need to register with PlayHQ and complete all details. 
Grange welcomes new players into existing teams (an existing team includes a minimum of 4 players that have played for Grange in the preceding 2 winter seasons - eg Winter 2023 or Winter 2024).  Teams who wish to play in the Summer competition, but have not played for the Grange Netball Club in the previous 2 years winter competition generally won't be accepted (unless under exceptional circumstances) and will be at the discretion of the Grange Committee.  

Existing Players 
If you have previously played for Grange Netball Club, you already have PlayHQ log-in. If you have forgotten your password, click on the “Forgot your password” tab and follow the directions.
