Thank you to all the parents who helped on the BBQ this morning. So successful that we have already sold out. Anyone who was volunteering for this afternoon…. you’re off the hook!!

We need more volunteers for the BBQ duty tomorrow.

All teams have been allocated a timeslot that matches when they play.

Volunteers are required to cook and serve and a Bullants committee member will also be present to support. Players over 14 years welcome to assist.

Remember the club is a not for profit volunteer organisation. Without community support there would not be a club.

http://scna.act.netball.com.au/pageitem.aspx?id=192420&id2=1&eID=39129&entityID=39129

2 X 8 mins halves; 1 min half break
5 mins to transition to next court or leave at the end.

Go well Bullants and have fun being back on court. Make sure you warm up before your first game and are ready to play from the first whistle. There’s no coming home strong in the 4th qtr! This is the first of two Grading days (second grading 24th April) to determine what grade your team is in for the 2021 season.

We hope all teams have now found a Team Manager. Could all Managers’ please collect their Team’s kit bag tomorrow at training. Kit bags contain the game balls and bibs that you will need for the grading day on Saturday 27th March. Could all Managers’ also send an email to the Bullants email address advising the team that you are looking after so that we can get urgent club messages to you throughout the season. If your team does not yet have a Manager, coaches please collect the team bag tomorrow. Teams cannot function without a nominated Manager.

King Street entrance | The King St entrance will be open tomorrow. This is our preferred entrance for drop off/pick up. Parents will still be required to stay outside the fence, unless they are the Team Manager collecting the kit bag.

Jewellery/Watches Removed and no new piercings – please remember to remove earrings before coming to training and remove your watch/fitbit before taking the court. Also, no new piercings from now until after the netball season if you want to be on court – no taped piercings allowed.

See everyone at training tomorrow for a good session in preparation for SCNA Grading Saturday 27th March.

With four weeks of grading now complete, we have formed 25 teams for over 240 players! Yesterday you should have received an email announcing your 2021 team and where possible, your coach. We are still looking for more coaches. In particular we have a couple of teams that have moved from Inters to Seniors (Yr 10+) who could really appreciate simply having someone guide them at training. This is a critical age that teenage girls can drop out of sport and as a community we need to support them in every way to continue to participate. Please send us an email if you can assist in any way.

Training times:

NetSet SET & GO (Yr 2,3 and 4): 5.30-6.30pm

Juniors (Yr 5 & 6): 5.30-6.30pm

Inters (Yr 7-9): 6.30-7.30pm

Seniors: (Yr 10+): 7.30-8.30pm

As always: hair tied back, jewelry (watches & earrings) removed, fingernails cut short, bring a drink bottle and a jumper as the weather starts to cool.

If we can open the King St entrance we will, but currently our Covid plan doesn’t allow this. Tomorrow is a new day and things are constantly changing – keep a lookout.

Last week for uniforms: If you haven’t got a dress for the season, tomorrow is the last opportunity to try on and purchase your dress or other uniform items. Open from 5.30pm for as long as volunteer commitments allow. We cannot man the uniform store and train teams too!

Grading Days – Please put Saturday 27th March and 24th April in your calendars. These are SCNA Grading Days where the Bullants teams play a variety of teams from other clubs to determine the most suitable grade for the upcoming season. We don’t have any more details as to times etc, but expect a good few hours and potentially a ’round robin’ style event.

See everyone tomorrow for the first official training!
