This week is the last training and game for some teams. The last round of the regular season is this Saturday before we head into preliminary finals/semi finals/grand finals on the 2/9/16 September. If your team is playing in the Finals, please note that the game time can be different from your regular timeslot. Be sure to check PlayHQ.
PLAYER’S PLAYER
Nominations now open – Inters, Cadets and Seniors players, please vote for your Player’s Player on the links below. Your vote should be for the person in your team who you believe is the player who makes the other players feel most included in the team, and who you most enjoy playing with, not who you think is the “best” player or who you may have the best friendship with. Awards will be presented at presentation nights.
Junior players – votes are collated through your coach

THANKING YOUR COACH
Team Managers will be coordinating an end of season gift to thank the coach. Please ensure you respond to these requests promptly. Coaches give up an enormous amount of time throughout the season to help players improve their netball skills and to create positive team environments. We do not pay our coaches, they are all volunteers. It would be great for all coaches to receive a thank-you memento from their team either at the last game or the end of season event.
