Well round one is done and dusted and we had a real mixed bag of results; wins, loses, near misses and draws. Every team put in a fantastic effort…well done.  Sometimes it takes a few rounds to sort out whether teams are in the correct divisions as often we don’t know the caliber of the opposition teams when we submit the nominations.  Rest assured the SCNA Division chairs want an even competition as much as the teams do, so while some changes may need to be made it wont happen until round 4 or 5.

MANAGERS:  Each team needs a manager.  It is a simple task of coordinating; making sure a parent is available to score each week and organising a roster when your team is on canteen duty.  Please consider volunteering for this role and let me know by emailing bullantsnetball@gmail.com

TRAINING:  While there is no netball next weekend because of the Easter break, there WILL be training this Wednesday as usual.

SCNA Calendars:  The 2013 SCNA calendar is available here.  The Winter canteen roster is available here.

Cheers
Ruth Mahon (Bullants President)

Netball Australia is in the process of upgrading the SCNA database and  websites.  At the moment the new database is not talking to the old website so for all game draws and results, please visit the Netball Australia Public Portal.  When the new website is live, the draws and results will also appear on the home page.  We will let you know when that occurs.

Please note:

Juniors:
We were short on numbers for Division 1 and 2, so have combined the two divisions for the season. This was to create more competition for the teams, so they weren’t playing the same teams week in, week out. Division 1 and 2 will then be split for finals:  ladder position 1-4 playing in Division 1 finals and ladder positions 5-8 playing in Division 2 finals.

Intermediates:
Division 1 and 2 have been combined for the first 4 rounds, and the draw will be done manually on a weekly basis. (This draw will not be displayed online)
The intermediate chair will then asses the division after round 4 to determine if it will stay a 10 team combined division or be split into 2 divisions (we are hoping to get the draws online after round 4).

Well done to Bullants Sioux, Shawnee, Cherokee and Arapaho for an excellent effort at the grading carnival this afternoon.  Looks like it is going to be a great season ahead.  A special thanks to our umpires on the day: Chloe, Meghan, Charlotte and Ashlin.

As we are just about to launch into the 2013 Netball season there are a few things to bring to your attention.  We will finalise all teams this week and then we can send out coach contact numbers and ask for volunteers to fill the role of team managers.

1. Training is every Wednesday evening, with the exception of the school holidays. Attending training is a compulsory part of being in a Bullants team.  If it is raining, please check the website as this is where we will publish cancellation notices.  These will be last minute so be prepared to train.  If you are unable to make it to training, please notify the team coach or manager (contact details will be available soon). 
2. Junior grading carnival is next Saturday, March 16th between 4-7pm.  Anyone in the juniors competition needs to be at the SCNA courts by 3:30pm.  
3. Round 1 of the competition proper is on Saturday, March 23rd. 
   NetSetGo start at 9:30pm
   Juniors start at 10:30pm
   Inters start at 12pm
   Seniors Div 1 & 3 start at 1:30pm
   Seniors Div 2 start at 3pm
   Please be at the courts at least 30 minutes before start time so that you are prepared.
4. Jewellery needs to be left at home.  This includes earrings, bracelets, necklaces and anklets.
5. Fingernails should be trimmed before you get to the courts…court-side manicures are never very good and take up valuable warmup time.
6. Uniform – If you are waiting on uniform to come from the supplier, then a plain white t-shirt and black skirt or shorts will be fine to wear.
7. Netball is about having FUN – let’s not lose sight of what we are here for!

Looking forward to a very fun filled successful season.  See you at the courts!

Sorry for the late notice but the rain has now set in…see you next week

The rain has stopped…see you at the courts

The weather seems a little wet at the moment so NetSetGo and Juniors training is cancelled this afternoon. Inters and Seniors, stand by…we will reassess the conditions at 5:30 pm. If you still need to pay your registration, we will be there from 5:45 pm to take your forms.

Bullants has space in our NetSetGo team for future netball champions. NetSetGo (formerly known as Netta) is a modified netball program aimed at 7-8 year olds.  No experience necessary, just a happy attitude and enthusiasm to give it a go.

All inquires to bullantsnetball@gmail.com

Update: looks like the weather is holding so see you at training.

Stay tuned…we are watching the weather and will let you know soon if training will be cancelled

Just a reminder to all Bullants players that you are required to attend training this week (Wednesday 20th Feb) as we continue to grade the teams.  If you are still to register, please fill out your forms (Bullants Information pack 2013) and bring them with your payment tonight.  Payments can also be direct deposited and the account information is in the information pack.

Times:
Juniors/NetSetGo – 5:30pm
Inters – 6:30pm
Seniors – 7:30pm

There will also be a sign up sheet for any Inters players wanting to participate in the Junior Umpiring Scheme.

See you at the courts
