We have arrived at the courts to find only half the lights working……. again!!!

We have cancelled training for the Year 2,3 and 4 teams. Parents/carers, please come to the courts asap to pick up your children. You should have received a message from your coach/manager by now. If you have older children who are training in the 5.30 time slot, we will supervise the younger ones until 6.30. Reminder: enter via King Street. There is an SCNA Exec meeting on tonight and there is no parking within the courts.

Inters/Cadets/Seniors – we anticipate you all training unless you get a specific message from your coach/manager.

SCNA is holding a fundraiser round in support of the Starlight Foundation on the 5th of August! The Starlight Foundation helps transform the hospital and healthcare experience of kids and young people across Australia. We would love to see everyone get involved and support a great cause!

This is a reminder to all parents and carers.

Please do NOT enter the courts carpark for drop off or pick up. There are many children walking around the area and it is dangerous if we have cars entering and leaving the courts. Also, we need to leave the car spaces free for our coaches who are volunteering their time, usually in multiple time slots.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Netball Resumes: We hope all of our Bullants community has enjoyed a restful break over the school holidays and is ready to resume netball this week. Training is back on Wednesday and Round 5 of the competition is on Saturday which means we are almost halfway through the 10 round season! Finals commence 2 September, so the focus from coaches will soon move toward finals preparation (for those age groups who are eligible). Everyone will be thrilled to hear the wall mounted countdown clock and floodlights are now all working!

Team Duty: Please look out for comms from your Team Manager for your rostered team duty between now and the end of the season (i.e. canteen, set up, pack up etc.)

Photos: we will start taking team photos from this Saturday. Please be sure to let your coach know if you are away for any of the upcoming weeks so that we can try to find a Saturday when most of your team will be present for a photo.

Save the date, End of Season events:

• Juniors at the courts Wednesday 20 September
• Seniors after the Grand Final 16 September (venue TBA)

Congratulations: Congratulations to all the Bullants players, coaches and umpires who participated in the U12/U13 ACT Junior Championships at the start of the school holidays. Extra congratulations to the four Bullants players who played in the winning U12 Div 1 team and special mention to three of those who have been selected to represent the ACT at the National Schools Sport competition later this year – Ava W, Willow B And Abi C.

Twilight comp: we haven’t any firm details from SCNA yet, but based on previous years, we expect Twilight Social netball will commence second week of Term 4 (around 16 Oct) and run for 8 weeks. For parents/carers who would love to return to playing netball, this is a great way to return to court in a non-competitive environment. All ability levels welcome.

Netball courts are very wet and it is likely to keep raining for at least another hour or so, accordingly the committee has decided to cancel all sessions this evening

We hope you all have a lovely break and we wish our players playing at ACT Junior Championships a great weekend of netball.

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.
