A reminder that training is compulsory for all teams, and it’s expected that you let your coaches or teammates know ahead of time if you cannot make it for any reason. Our coaches are volunteers and put in a lot of time and effort to make training as beneficial as they can, please do your part by coming to training!

The grass is particularly wet, SCNA have decided to cancel the 9am grass court games. 10am grass court watch this space…

All other games, especially those on the hard courts are going ahead at this stage. Please check carefully what court you’re on and come ready to play!

Bullants wishes lots of luck to our athletes travelling to Queensland to participate in U15 School Sport Championship over the next week. Congratulations to Zara and Toby who have been selected in the ACT netball teams and to Izzy and Willow have been selected in the ACT AFL team. Hoping you have fine weather and lots of great competition.

For the rest of us I’m sure you’ve all seen the forecast for tomorrow… we’ll let you know as soon as we can here, and via the WhatsApp group what’s happening, but please assume that your game is going ahead until you hear otherwise!

We’re so excited to get the second half of the season going this Saturday, and we can’t wait to see you all back out there! We’re keeping an eye on the weather but we have our fingers crossed!

With Saturday’s back we’re also back into regular Wednesday training. Please remember that everyone is expected to attend training each week, and our coaches work hard to ensure the team can take the most out of it. We know it has been cold recently but please be sure to rug up and come along tomorrow night!

Save the date: we’re already planning for the end of season, and want you to be able to as well!

For seniors, end of season presentation night will be grand final day, the 20th of September.

For the rest of the club, presentation night will be on the following Wednesday the 24th of September.

Times, details and location to follow, but please pop it in your diaries now so you can join us!

Just a reminder that we’re training this Wednesday for those that are in town! We’d love to see you all at your usual times for some squad style training and games. Not all coaches will be available, but there will be plenty of people around to supervise and run training, so please come on down! Outstanding uniform orders can also be collected on Wednesday evening.

Gala day: We’re also holding a Gala Day for our NetSetGo players this Saturday, the 19th of July, at SCNA. Please arrive for 9am warm-up, with games starting at 9:30.

Each team will play 3 games, with 2x 10 minute halves for each game, and the day will be wrapped up by 11:30am.

Make sure to bring your own snacks and water, as the canteen will be closed!

We can’t ignore the forecast is looking very wet and windy tomorrow, and with no games until the end of July we’ve decided to make an early call on training now.

We will be back next week! Wednesday the 2nd of July we will hold a round robin so our Bullants teams will get to have some match play before the break.

We will then take week one of the holidays off, so no training on the 9th of July, before returning for training for those that are around and keen on the 16th of July. We may not have full teams this week, but there will be someone around to run training for each age group!

Finally we will all come back for regular training on the 23rd of July, before we return to games on the 26th of July.

In summary: 25th June: no training; 2nd July: training is on; 9th of July: no training; 16th July: training is optional but highly encouraged; 23rd July: back to our usual schedule of Wednesday night training and Saturday games!

Thank you all for showing up in your rainbow best for our pride round on the weekend! It was wonderful to see so many of you embrace the occasion and we’re so grateful it was such a lovely day! A reminder if you haven’t already, we’re fundraising for Minus18, a charity designed to support LGBTQI+ youth, we’d love you to make a donation if you’re able to support the valuable work they do here.

Saturday was our last game until the 26th of July, we have a long break for junior championships and school holidays. We will continue to train during the school term so please come along to training unless you hear otherwise! We have lots of fun things planned to keep us entertained and busy, watch this space!
