CLUB REMINDERS
🚙 Parking Guidelines
• Weekday Training: For players and families that train at the courts during the week, the childcare centre carpark cannot be used before 6:30 PM, Monday–Friday. The centre pays for those parking spots, so they must remain vacant for clients of the centre as they pick up their children in the afternoon/evening.
• Saturday Games: Only SCNA exec volunteers or those people with disability parking permits are allowed to bring their cars into the courts on Saturdays, even to just drop off or pick up players. The best parking is generally in the King Street carpark, as Makin Place can get very busy when there are sports being played on the fields adjacent to the netball courts.
📸 Photography
SCNA is bound by the policies of Netball ACT and Netball Australia, including their position statement on taking images of children. At SCNA this is applied by a requirement that:
- No photographs/video is taken, even for private use, without the permission of the parent/guardian of other children who may appear in the images. The minimum requirement is that you advise an adult from the opposing team of your intention to take photographs/video, including about how the images will be used, and obtain their agreement to this. If the opposing team does not give explicit agreement, you cannot take photographs/video during that game, regardless of how you intend to use the images.
