We have been asked to remind our Bullants community about court arrangements as we head into the end of the season and finals.
SCNA have positioned the silver and yellow bench seats on the allocated player/coach side of the courts to ensure that:
1. Players and coaches have somewhere to sit courtside
2. Coaches have space to do their coaching
3. Players can concentrate on their coach’s directions during the game.
We ask that parents sit/stand on the opposite side of the court (where there is more room between courts) to give coaches the space to do their job. This will be particularly important during the finals series, and parents are asked to respect any request from an SCNA executive to move to the side of the court opposite the silver benches to watch the game.
There are plastic chairs inside the pavilion which all parents are welcome to use courtside should they wish to sit and watch the game.
It also should be noted that umpires, umpire mentors (wearing the pink hi-viz vests) and officials will be directed to ask parents to stay off the court during the course of the game (including breaks).
It is also important that players stay with their coaches/team even if they are are a substitute for a quarter. Parents, could you please support the club by reminding younger players of this arrangement.
Spectator code of conduct information is available around the courts, and we ask that all sideline support for teams is in the spirit of positive play.
Thank-you
Bullants Committee
