I have just arrived at the courts and it is blowing a gale, cold and looks like the rain is about to come down so we will cancel tonight. Sorry for the late notice

There is lots of great netball happening tomorrow – Sunday 22 June. Locally State League grand finals start at 11 am over at the Lyneham Netball Centre. There are also games at 1 pm and 3 pm. While there are no SCNA teams playing, we do have Grace umpiring the Div 2 game. If you want to watch some great netball pop over to Lyneham.
The ANZ Championship will also be decided tomorrow afternoon. The Queensland Firebirds and Melbourne Vixens will fight it out for the trophy. The game starts at 2:15 pm and will be broadcast on SBS 2.
Enjoy the game.

Juniors Div 2 and Inters Div 4 will play a split round this week ( two half games).

The SCNA Skills clinic has been rescheduled to Sunday 29 June. Players between the ages of 9 – 14 are welcome to register. Cost $5. Details at the pavilion on Saturday.

We have had two of our umpires receive higher accreditation in the last few weeks.
Nicole Duck gained her B badge – Nicola is a regular umpire for State League games and her badging is a recognition of all the hard work she has put in over the years.
Zoe Caton gained her C badge – Zoe is a super umpire for Bullants and she has been recognised for the efforts she has put in to improve her skills.

We have 7 Inters players undertaking the junior umpire scheme. They are growing in confidence each week.

Thanks to all the parents out there supporting our umpires. It is a tough job but we wouldn’t be playing without them.

After our sleep in last weekend, netball is back this week. There has been some regrading of teams in the senior and inters divisions so please make sure you check the draw each week. The Bullants teams mostly affected are Comanche, Arapaho and Mohicans.

Chiefs have the bye this week.

SCNA is looking for an Office Administrator. Details at the SCNA website if you are interested http://southcanberranetball.sportzvault.com

Our teams are really coming together as the season progresses. It has been great to see the development of skill and confidence has evolved over the first half of the season.
This week Arapaho have the bye and Kiowa have canteen duty.

Good luck to our players traveling to Wagga for the rep carnival on Sunday, we hope you have a fun day.

SCNA senior state league players will be holding a skills clinic on Sunday June 1 at the Deakin netball courts.
10 am – 12pm: 11 & 12 year olds
12:30 – 2:30 pm: 13, 14 & 15 year olds

Players of all skill levels are welcome.

This Saturday sees Juniors Div 2 and Inters Div 3 & 4 playing split rounds. These teams will play two half games. Split rounds are necessary to ensure that at the end of the season all teams have played each other twice. There will be another split round draw on June 24.

Junior Umpiring Scheme
The JUS starts this weekend at 9 am. If you are in Inters or Seniors and would like to learn how to umpire, then it is not too late to sign up. Come on down to the pavilion at 9 am and we can get you sorted.

Parents are reminded that as the junior umpires begin their course they will be umpiring in the junior time slots. Please be supportive of them…they will be nervous, they will make mistakes however they are keen and without umpires we can’t play. These young girls can be intimidated very easily by negative side line comments so let’s keep it positive. Of course this goes for all of our umpires too…it’s a tough gig umpiring, let’s show our appreciation to our umpires.

Skills clinic
The SCNA state league players will be running a skills clinic for players 11 – 15 years old on June 1 at the Deakin netball courts. Cost $5 More information can be found at the SCNA website. http://southcanberranetball.sportzvault.com

Looking forward to the sunshine tomorrow (fingers crossed)
See you at the courts
