Week 2 – Sat 5 April

Time to dig out the warm jacket and big umbrella, tomorrow might be damp. While Bullants’ preference is to always try and get a game in, parents have the final say in whether they allow their child to play when it is raining. The courts are all weather courts and we advise the girls to slow the play down to minimise incidents. As a rule, always come to the courts prepared to play. Any decision to cancel will be last minute. My experience has been that the girls love playing in the rain, it’s just the parents who find it difficult. Please have a discussion with your team coach if you are worried.

Parking – the best place is in the King St carpark. Makin place is too congested and the carpark inside the courts is reserved for SCNA council members.

Sideline coaches – I admit it is hard not to shout out directions to your child from the sideline…I have been guilty of it in the past myself! However I have told the players that for the one hour that they are playing they only have to listen to the coach, the umpire and their team mates. So please try hard to hold it in, it confuses the players (especially the littlies) if they hear you giving them directions also. If you find you really can’t hold it in, we are looking for coaches for two of our senior teams, they would appreciate your direction.

Grading continues for juniors and inters tomorrow and Cree have a week off as the team they are due to play have forfeited.

Training WILL be held next Wednesday but we will break for the school holidays.

See you at the courts.
