Bullants Netball Club Inc.

We are all looking forward to Round 4 tomorrow. SCNA has reminded all players and supporters to observe the requirements for participation:

As the whistle is about to blow for the 9am games, we wish all our players, coaches, umpires, managers and supporters a fun 2022 Winter season!

We have received the following reminders from SCNA:

Injuries: all injuries are to be reported to the SCNA office for insurance purposes

Earrings: Players are not permitted to wear earrings while playing (even if tapped). Please remind your players that this is not the best time to get ears pierced

Assistance: Please make sure that when your teams have court-assistance or canteen allocations that your volunteers are ON TIME – it is unfair to those on the previous shifts to have to hang around if you are late!

Be Court Ready: It is not just the responsibility of the umpires to ensure all players are court-ready (i.e. nails cute, earrings out, watches, hair ties and other jewellery off). All coaches and parents should ensure their children are ready to take the court prior to the start of games. We have already had a number of incidents in the last 2 weeks of injuries related to people still wearing watches/ jewellery or playing with very long nails. 

NO DOGS are allowed inside the SCNA courts (and technically not on the ovals surrounding our courts) – this is an ACT Government rule which we will be enforcing

Updated Draws – now that Grading has finished, the grades are being finalised and the competition draws will soon be published on PlayHQ. We suggest you check the draw on Friday. https://www.playhq.com/netball-australia/org/south-canberra-netball-association/8231a9c0

Sadly the rain is not easing so the courts are too wet to train. 6.30 and 7.30 sessions cancelled too.

See you Saturday.

Rain has hit. We are cancelling 5.30pm session and will assess again at 6pm for later sessions.

It’s not currently raining so we are hoping we can get the 6.30 and 7.30 slots in.

Don’t forget if you ordered a singlet or training shirt please come to the pavilion.

We hope everyone had a great first day on the courts on Saturday.

For those players who ordered a singlet/shorts uniform or a training shirt, they have now arrived. Please come to the pavilion tomorrow from 5.15pm to pay and pick up.

See you on court again tomorrow for training.

Unfortunately it is still too wet for us to get on court tonight. Can all coaches please come and collect their kit bag at 6pm and anyone that needs a uniform also come at 6.00pm. We will be leaving the courts at 6.45pm.

See everyone else on Satruday!

It’s Wednesday so it’s raining!

We are cancelling the 5.30-6.30 training session as the courts are too wet. We will make another assessment at 5.30 for the 6.30 training slot. If it’s not cancelled, then it’s on.

If you are a coach please come at 6pm to collect your kit bag ready for Saturday.

If you need a uniform, please come at 6pm.

The following reminders have come through from SCNA:

Scoreboard – All players must sign the scoreboard EVERY WEEK to be eligible to play in the finals.

Prefer outside the courts: We are encouraging anyone who is not a player, coach, umpire, scorer or team manager to remain outside the gates where possible.

Division Re-grade: If any re-grading is necessary, changes will be made following the grading rounds (7th May). 

BBQ Duty: Bullants is rostered 28th May, please mark your calendar and be ready to assist when the call for help goes out.

Canteen Duty: Your team Manager will let you know when your team is on Canteen duty. Two volunteers are needed in the canteen for the 1hr 10min shift (this can be divided by a number of helpers into 15 or 30 minute slots so you can still watch your game).

Court Support Duty:

Over the season, teams will be rostered to help around the courts and in the Clubhouse (but not the canteen) – setting up for the day, checking at midday and packing up. 30mins is allocated, but usually is takes 15mins. Duties include:

8.15-8.45am Court Set up:  Teams need to provide 3 volunteers to do set up for the day e.g. putting out the rubbish bins, putting up the pole wrappers etc.

12.30-1.00pm Court and Clubhouse Midday check: Teams need to provide 3 volunteers to check bins, restock toilets, general tidy up etc.

4.00-4.30pm Court Pack up:  Teams need to provide 3 volunteers to do pack up for the day e.g. bringing in the rubbish bins and pole wrappers, general tidy up, etc
