INTERS & SENIORS
Newton Jaguars is proud of their Intermediate and Senior teams.
Intermediates (17&U):
While Intermediates are 17 & U, development into our senior and premier league starts at this age.
All intermediate-aged players are provided extra development and fitness opportunities over the summer and continue into the following winter. We encourage all Intermediate players to strive to be their best.
The Intermediate High-Performance Squad was introduced in summer 24/25. The High-Performance squad is for age-appropriate players selected in the Inter 1 & 2 teams (both winter & summer) and winter Junior 1 teams, not involved in the Premier League Squad. The squad undergoes, specific Fitness Testing, Skills, and Athlete Development Sessions.
Intermediate players are encouraged to trial for the Premier League Squad and pathways including being selected as a PL Rookie Player. Premier League Rookie Players train with the Premier League squad over the year. In 2024, a number of our Intermediate Rookies and Train-ons had the opportunity to play in our PL Reserves team.
First-year Intermediate players may pursue further netball development through Adelaide Thunderbirds Talent Academy and all Intermediate players are encouraged to trial for the NSA 17&U State Team.
In winter, Inters play on Saturday afternoons and train on Tuesday nights. The Intermediate 1 team may have extra sessions during the season with Round Robins against our Premier League and AMND League teams. Over winter, an Intermediate specialist program will be implemented in 2025. Details will be available in early 2025.
In summer, Inters play on Tuesday nights in the City Night (CND) competition at Mile End and train on Thursday nights (7-8 pm)
Seniors:
Seniors are generally for players turning 18 or older in the calendar year. However, players who turn 16 before the season start may be considered for Senior teams.
In summer, we provide fitness opportunities for all summer Seniors, including sessions at our Strength & Conditioning provider PEAQ
AMND League - is the highest-graded league in the AMND competition and is the Senior stepping stone to the Premier League. AMND league team selection occurs at the same time (October) as the Premier League squad and enjoys the benefits of the pre-season with the Premier League squad.
Jags have Senior teams in both the AMND/CND and SADNA competitions. In winter, our Senior teams, play in either the AMND or SADNA competitions and train on Thursday nights. Our A Grade team may have extra pre-season training sessions. In summer, Seniors may play on Monday nights (SADNA) or Tuesday nights (CND) and continue to train on Thursday nights.
Trials for winter senior teams (not Premier League) occur in February.
