Hey Bullants Family,

We’re so excited to welcome you back for Season 2024!

The 2024 Winter Competition will run from May until September 2024 and registrations are now open. Key information is detailed in the table below.

Junior, Intermediate, Cadet and Senior players
 Registrations close on 17 February.
 Grading commences on 21 February.

NSG Set and Go players
 Registrations close on 2 March.
 Training commences in early/mid-March.

There has been a small increase in the overall registration fees. This is due to both Netball ACT and SCNA increasing their fees. Bullants has absorbed as much of that increase as we reasonably could without putting the financial viability of the club in jeopardy. PlayHQ has introduced a payment plan system, which may help to spread the cost for families.

If you have any concerns or questions please email us at bullantsnetball@gmail.com before registering. Refunds are not available post-registration if an error is made or you change your mind.

Reminder about piercings: No player can take the court if they cannot remove piercings (ears, nose, etc.,) and they cannot be taped. This is a Netball Australia rule and will be enforced by SCNA and Bullants. The last date for getting ears pierced before the commencement of the winter season is 9 March.

While we cannot guarantee team line-ups, if you have a friend you wish to play with please email the details to bullantnetball@gmail.com and we will try to get you in a team together if we can.

Likewise, if there are any issues that we should be aware of in putting teams together, please reach out to us BEFORE grading commences at bullantsnetball@gmail.com.

We’ll be posting all the essential information you will need for the season over the next few days, including information about uniforms, coaching, managing, and some new netball rules for season 2024!

We look forward to seeing you all soon! Make sure you secure your spot here!

This week SCNA is running the annual fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis. All players and supporters are invited to wear Christmas attire and donate. More details:

SCNA has cancelled all games tonight due to the conditions of the courts and the likelihood of more rain. Hopefully we’ll be playing the mixed competition tomorrow. For now, keep dry!!

SCNA has advised that they will make a decision about whether 5.30 games will proceed at 4.45. We will let you know as soon as we do if games/s are cancelled.

Last Twilight Games: Just two more rounds after this week. Last twilight games 11/12/13 December.

Tentative Dates Winter Comp 2024 – If you want to play in Winter 2024 keep a look out at the end of January 2024 for registrations. Grading likely to commence around 14 Feb. Our timeline is restricted by Netball ACT & SCNA having set their fees and registration portals first.

SCNA have cancelled netball for tonight due to storm warning and lightening.

No Jewellery: A reminder that it is a Netball Australia rule that no jewellery can be worn when playing. Taped earrings are not permitted. The only acceptable jewellery is a taped wedding band or a taped medical alert bracelet. Fingernails must be cut short. Here is a link to the rules: https://netball.com.au/sites/default/files/2020-01/INF_NETBALL%20RULE%20BOOK%20MANUAL%202020.pdf

Not available to play? If you are unavailable to play, please let your team Manager know as early as possible. We can often loan players across teams when our Managers are given enough notice that someone is unavailable to play.
