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!

Next weekend, we’re back to games, and are going to be celebrating pride round. We at Bullants are passionate about creating a welcoming environment for everyone who loves netball as much as we do, to come along and feel welcome. One of the ways we like to do this, is through celebrating pride round annually, to show our visible commitment.

We’d love for you to wear your rainbows on game day, this might mean ribbons or socks or scrunchies, whatever you have available. We will also have plenty available to hand out on the day.

We’re also fundraising for Minus18, a charity centred around supporting LGBTQI+ youth to feel safe, empowered and surrounded by people who support them. If you’d like to join us in donating, please click here.

We can’t wait to see you all in your rainbow best on Saturday!

If you would like to order one, please come to the pavilion to try on and pay for your order at training on the next two Wednesdays – 28 May and 4 June – from 6pm. The long sleeve top is $55.

Pride Round: Bullants will host another Pride Round in round 4, on the 14th of June. We had such a blast last year, we can’t wait to do it all over again! We’d love to see you dressed in your finest (netball appropriate) rainbow gear, and we’re letting you know nice and early to give you plenty of time to prepare! We’ll be in touch with more details and a reminder soon.

Canteen duty: We’re on this weekend, and need a few more volunteers, particularly in the early morning and later in the afternoon. We’d love to see some new faces put their hands up to support the club, to help share the load across our community. Please click here if you can help out.

Lost property: While we can’t guarantee we have your items if you’ve misplaced them, we have had a few handed in. If you’re missing something, please come and chat to us on Wednesday evening and we can have a look for you!

Injuries: If you’re injured on a Wednesday or Saturday, please ensure you let us know! It needs to be recorded by an official before you leave the grounds. Once this is complete, further steps are found here.

Training: A reminder for all our lovely parents that we ask you not to stand on the sideline during training. If you would like to wait around, your car, outside the fence or at the BBQ are the best places to wait. In addition, there is no parent parking or drop off/pick up inside the gated SCNA carpark (off Makin place) on a Wednesday night, please park in the King Street carparks instead.

Dogs: As much as we love to meet all your fluffy friends, there are unfortunately no dogs allowed on SCNA and ACT Government sporting grounds. This means inside the courts, as well as the grass courts, and the cricket/touch fields at the back. Your best bet is to leave them at home!

Weather permitting, fitness session #2 is on 6.30-7.30 tonight. It’s run by a qualified Strength and Conditioning coach and everyone is welcome.
