The committee is keeping an eye on the radar. We will advise whether we are proceeding with the intraclub games night this evening as follows:

5.30 session for NSG and Juniors – by 4pm
6.30 session for Inters and Cadets – by 5pm
7.30 session for seniors – by 6pm

Congratulations to the Bullants players who represented SCNA at the U14/U15s ACT Championships over the weekend and best wishes to all our U11/U12/U13s representatives this coming weekend. Go well and have fun!

We have a Round Robin event planned for training this Wednesday. Your coach should have been in touch with details. This event is subject to the lights being repaired tomorrow. Please plan to play, unless you hear differently.

After this Wednesday, we will break from training over the school holidays and resume training 19th July. Stay warm.

Apologies, we have arrived at the courts to discover the water is off and more lights broken. We will have to cancel training. Apologies to those who have already hit the road.

Unfortunately we have just learnt the lights are still not repaired and we again need to cancel training for year 2, year 3 and year 4 teams.  Please look out for advice from your coaches, as there may be an opportunity to train this Saturday given there are no games.

All other training timeslots will train tonight as per the normal schedule.  

Hi Bullants community,

Sharing these details in case you are interested:

Netball ACT’s School Holiday Clinics are back with lot’s of fun and learning.

Half of the floodlights at the SCNA courts are not working, leaving only half the number of courts suitable for training. The fault detection and repair is now with the ACT Government and we are not sure how quickly this will be rectified.

Unfortunately the committee has had to make a difficult decision and cancel tomorrow’s training for year 2, year 3 and year 4 teams.  At all other training time slots, there should be enough courts for two teams to share a court that has working lights. We are disappointed not to get everyone on court before Saturday, but the safety of players is our priority.

The next few weeks play havoc with our netball routine. Here is when we play:

Saturday 12 June – no netball, long weekend

Saturday 17 June – netball as normal, Round 4

Saturday 24 June- no netball, ACT Jnr Champs

Saturday 1 July – no netball, school holidays & ACT Champs

Saturday 8 July – no netball, school holidays

Saturday 15 July – no netball, school holidays

Saturday 22 July – games resume, Round 5

Training:

Wednesday night training continues during the school term. No training throughout the school holidays i.e. 5 & 12 July. Look out for more details of our ’round robin’ event where we will keep our game skills going.

Please do not access car park on Wednesday Training: We have several parents using the SCNA carpark inside the courts to pick up and drop off their players at training. This is particularly dangerous given the limited lighting and small unpredictable children. For safety we ask that the carpark is accessed by coaches and SCNA Executive only. Parents, please park your car and WALK to the courts to drop off/pick up your child. The best parking is in King Street.

Enjoy your long weekend!

Beautiful morning at Deakin netball courts this morning. Thank you to our early shift of volunteers who are cooking up a storm at the BBQ!!

Looking forward to a great day of netball tomorrow. Some reminders:

BBQ

Bullants is running the BBQ tomorrow. This is a major fundraiser for the club that helps to keep our registration costs to a minimum. If you haven’t signed up yet, there are slots available in the following sessions:
11.00-11.30 (Apache and Sioux)
12.00-12.30 (Braves and Kamia)
12.30-1.00 (Cheyenne and Navajo)
1.30-2.30 (Pack up allocated to all seniors, noting it probably won’t take the whole hour.)
You don’t need to be associated with these teams to sign up to help out in these timeslots. Remember, we have a lot of people who volunteer their time every week to get our players on court, so please make a contribution of your time to this once-in-a-season activity.

Game Times

There have been some final changes made to the divisions in almost all competitions. You should check the time for your games, even if the changes haven’t affected your team, as SCNA has had to juggle timeslots to ensure they can fit as many games as possible on the hard courts.

Junior Umpires

SCNA has commenced its junior umpire program, with the trainee umpires allocated to Go and Juniors games. They are learning, so remember to be patient as they build their skills and confidence. There is a feedback system in place to help these young umpires improve, so avoid on-court commentary as it can be overwhelming for beginner umpires.

Long weekend netball: Just a reminder that netball is on this long weekend. If you are not available to play, please be sure to let your coach know.

Hoody Delivery: If you had a Hoody on backorder, please come and get it from the pavilion at training tomorrow.
