Thank you again for your patience as we worked through the 340+ players who are all joining us this season! Because we need to fit players on court, and because errors in emails always sneak through, we thought we would share the following as a guide!

Please note, game times are indicative only as they do rely on the numbers of teams all the clubs submit to SCNA.

A note from our President:

With grading now complete, we wanted to thank the Bullants community for your flexibility and patience during recent weeks. We will love our new Deakin courts once we can play on them, but not having our home has, and continues to, play havoc with our grading process. The change in days and location, combined with the weather our players have endured, has been far from ideal, and we want to acknowledge this. Unfortunately, it looks like we won’t have access to the Deakin courts until Term 2 when remediation work should be completed.

On a positive note, our Club will enter 2025 with the largest number of teams we have ever submitted – 36 teams across NSG to Seniors. We are thrilled to see so many people return, or come and play netball with Bullants for the first time, and we know we will have a super successful season ahead.

This increase does put considerable pressure on our volunteer base, especially our coaches and umpires, so please send a note to bullantsnetball@gmail.com if you can help out in any way. We will find a space for you that fits the hours you can contribute!

Finally, a massive thank you to everyone who helped with the grading process – our wonderful committee who put endless hours in finding the ‘right fit’ for each player and the volunteers who lent their hand to grading, umpiring, or supporting our players.

Peta Lange, President

Training: WILL start this Wednesday 2 April at Arawang Netball Association (ANA) with times as follows:

• NSG (Yrs 2,3,4): 5.00pm-5.45pm
• Juniors (Yrs 5&6): 5.45pm-6.30pm
• Inters (Yrs 7&8) & Cadets* (Yrs 9&10):7.00pm – 8.00pm
• Cadets* (Yrs 9&10): 8.00pm – 9.00pm
• Seniors: 8.00pm – 9.00pm 

We will train at Arawang courts for the next 2 weeks before we revert to our usual timings at SCNA courts in Term 2. Unfortunately, this is the only option possible for the Club to train in Term 1 given the lack of court access. We know some players will be unable to train due to Rep training requirements and we are liaising with coaches to let them know.

*For our Cadets teams, we will be in touch about which training session you need to attend.

Teams: We will share the teams for Inters, Cadets and Seniors over the next 24 hours.

Uniforms: Final uniform orders this Wednesday from 5.30pm at the ANA courts.

The weather is cooling down, so please remember to bring an extra layer!

Thanks for your patience today with all the weather updates. Seniors will not proceed uniform shop open until 4pm.

The rain has eased, we look forward to seeing Cadets at 2pm.

Unfortunately it is still raining, so we will have to cancel Inters at 2pm.

Uniforms are still open if you need to come and try/order.

Unfortunately the courts are too wet and it’s still sprinkling so we will not be able to get on court at 1pm.

Uniform try ons/orders continuing so if you haven’t got your uniform sorted, head on down to Arawang courts.

We know how excited our NetSetGo players are to finally be on court, but unfortunately the weather is not on our side to play safely today. We will still go ahead with uniforms 12-1pm, so please head down to Arawang courts and try on and order your Bullants uniform. The uniforms have a lengthy lead time so we need to get orders in to our supplier this week if you want a dress by week one of games.

We will monitor the weather and provide updates for other ages as today progresses. We are trying our best to get regular training for everyone, but without our home courts it is a challenge!

Training: We will train again this Saturday the 28th of March at Arawang Netball Courts in Stirling. This will include our recent time slots, netsetgo at 12pm, juniors at 1pm, inters at 2pm, cadets at 3pm and seniors at 4pm. We’re anticipating a return to our traditional Wednesday night training at SCNA from the following week, though this is all dependent on the courts being finished in time. Please make sure you arrive early with no jewellery or nails, long hair tied back, and plenty of sunscreen!

NetSetGo: We are so excited to get started this weekend!!! We’ll be starting from 12pm on Saturday!

Teams: We are still finalising our team lists, which for some teams will mean their first training together this weekend, but for most will mean our final week of grading. Please come ready to show us what you’ve got!

Uniforms: For all of our NetSetGoers, as well as anyone else who has not yet purchased a uniform, please make sure you do so on Saturday the 28th of March. Uniform orders have been placed with our supplier already, so this is our last chance to get those orders in. If you have a second-hand dress you would like to sell, please bring it along with you on Saturday and speak to our lovely uniform team who can take it off your hands.

Volunteers: We’re eager to recruit some more keen volunteers. We’re particularly looking for coaches for our older teams, as well as umpires and managers, but any form of help you can offer would be appreciated! If you can help us out, please email bullantsnetball@gmail.com. Remember that Bullants is a volunteer-run organisation, and we cannot survive without your support!

Thanks for all your patience in getting through grading! We’re working away behind the scenes getting our teams put together, and we’re excited to share these with you shortly.

With the hot weather, plus a number of our players, coaches and umpires heading away for a rep carnival this weekend, we’ve decided to take this week off from training.

We’re hoping for some good news shortly about the availability of our courts, and we will be in touch very soon to let you know about training arrangements, prior to the season starting.

For those of you heading to Shoalhaven this weekend, good luck!!! For everyone else, enjoy your weekend!

Tomorrow marks our (hopefully final) week of grading. We’re expecting another hot day, so please come prepared with hats, sunscreen and plenty of water. We will also be prepared with plenty of things to keep us cool and some shade.

For our NetSetGo players, we’re just as excited as you are to get started! We’ll let you know soon, but we anticipate this will be in the next few weeks!

For everyone else, we will see you all tomorrow!
