To all our lovely new and returning Bullants, we are SO excited to welcome you all next week! A huge reminder that the games this season are being played at the Arawang netball courts in Stirling, and not at our home ground SCNA. By now, you should have team lists, and managers should be in touch in the next few days. Most of the draws are already up on PlayHQ and netballHQ, please note when your game times are, noting that some grades will move between time slots.

As always, if you’d like to umpire Twilight, we’d love to hear from you! If you can help out please email us at bullantsnetball@gmail.com to let us know you’re interested, and we’ll get you paid!

For those new to our club, if you would like to purchase a uniform, the uniform shop will be open this Sunday afternoon (the 13th of October) at 2pm, you’re welcome to come down to the courts at SCNA and we can get you fitted out. Please note that uniforms are entirely optional for our twilight season, and a lot of teams choose to wear active wear in Bullants colours, instead of our uniform pieces.

End of year survey: Please click here to complete our community survey, to let us know how you felt about the 2024 winter season. We’re so grateful for all of those who have already completed it, and would love to see some more responses before it closes next week.

2025 SCNA Junior representative trials are now open, and we’d love to see teams full of Bullants. Click here to register. The trials are open to experienced netball players born between 2010 and 2015, with trials held on the 3rd and 10th of November. If you’re keen to play, head to the link to get more information.

We are so excited for tomorrow! Grand final day is upon us! We have 11 teams, 18 coaches and 7 umpires representing Bullants tomorrow, making us all super proud!

There are a few differences between grand final day and our usual competition, starting with game times!

Physical scorecards will be used for our inters and above, and Cadets div 1+2, and seniors games will be individually timed. Team benches will also be enforced, so if you are spectating, please ensure you’re on the side opposite to the team, ensuring they can focus on the game!

We’d love to see you there to support our Bullants teams, and celebrate their achievements!

After the festivities of the day, for our seniors, presentation night is on at 6pm! If you’ve RSVP’d, please join us at the Austrian Club to celebrate the season, and enjoy an evening together.

For the rest of the club, we’ll remind you again beforehand, but we’re looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday night for presentation night!

There is NO finals fitness this week, we’re in talks already making plans for next years offering.

We will instead see our grand finalists on Wednesday for the last training of the year!

This weekend marks week one of finals, and we have a large number of Bullants teams to cheer for!

A few things change when we hit finals, if you are playing or spectating this weekend, it’s crucial you’re aware of the below:

• The team/scorers benches will be enforced, so if you are not scoring or coaching, please ensure you stand on the OPPOSITE side of the court to the players.
• All teams must provide one scorer per game. They must stand together in the centre of the court between the team benches. They are to work collaboratively throughout the game. This could be alternating who holds the score board each quarter or swapping roles at halftime. The scorers should work together to ensure each goal is recorded accurately and that both parties are satisfied with the score at the end of each quarter and at the conclusion of the game. The scoreboard should remain visible to both scorers at all times to avoid disputes. Any concerns or disputes should be flagged with an SCNA Executive member so it can be resolved prior to the score sheet being submitted to the office.
• Physical scoring placards will be available for our inters games and above, and will be the responsibility of the scorers.
• Players of all divisions who make the finals rounds (semi, preliminary and grand finals) will be played at the discretion of the coach.  All players are guaranteed two quarters (Divisions 3 & 4) and one quarter (Divisions 1 & 2) of court time per game only. 
• A reminder to players, coaches, parents/ spectators around behaviour – this is community sport, winning isn’t everything, respect the umpires decisions, play within the spirit of the game, have fun!

If you’re coming along to support Bullants this weekend, the below table has all of our final teams and their game times and courts! We look forward to seeing you there!
