Bullants Netball Club Inc.

The registrations are rolling in, thank you to those who have completed their registrations. If you are thinking of playing in the Monday night Twilight comp with Bullants, you have until tomorrow to finalise your registration here.

Contact us at bullantsnetball@gmail.com if you have any questions, or would like to “nominate” a team.

Go Bullants!!!

Thank you to all of you who have already registered for the Twilight Social Competition.

This is a reminder that if you wish to play you need to register by 5 October, that’s this Saturday.  The early closing date for registrations is so that we can advise SCNA by their deadline of 8 October, how many Bullants teams will participate. Use this link to register.  Please don’t register via your mynetball account because you will NOT be registered with Bullants.

Any questions please email us at bullantsnetball@gmail.com.

Bullants has had a successful 2019 Winter Competition with 6 teams making it to the Grandfinal tomorrow. We have:

Juniors Div 1 – Cherokee
Juniors Div 3 – Mohicans
Inters Div 1 – Dakota
Inters Div 3 – Braves
Seniors Div 2 – Chiefs
Seniors Div 3 – Shawnee

It would be great to see lots of our Bullants community at the courts tomorrow cheering for our teams. Juniors is being played at 11.00, Inters at 12.30 and Seniors at 2.00. Although the forecast is for rain, at this stage we are still expecting games to be played.

We wish all our teams the best of luck, and hope you enjoy the fun of playing in a grandfinal.

We have received advice from SCNA that the date for closing team nominations was incorrect in their initial notice about the competition. Closing date is now 8 October. Accordingly we need all registrations submitted by 5 October 2019. Any issues, contact us on bullantsnetball@gmail.com.

The SCNA Twilight Social Comp is being held on Monday evenings, starting on 21 October and finishing on 9 December. Bullants will be fielding teams in NSG Set, Juniors Go, Juniors, Intermediates and Seniors divisions and we are seeking registrations from interested players.

We are required to nominate teams to SCNA by 18 October, so all registrations need to be submitted by 15 October so that we can sort out the team lists. If you want to play with a group of friends please email us the team list so that we can pop you all in together (bullantsnetball@gmail.com)

Please take care to register to the correct Registration Link.  Use the links on the Twilight Social WEBPAGE NOT through your MyNetball profile.  It is really hard to reverse registrations done in error as the payments go automatically through to Netball ACT or SCNA.

The end of season party is being held on Wednesday 25 September from 5.30 – 7.00pm at the Deakin Netball Courts. Come and celebrate our great season and the supportive community that is the Bullants Netball Club.

Pizza, cake and a drink will be provided.

To assist with catering, please RSVP on this link by Wednesday 18^th September.

Your Bullants Committee

Congratulations to the 15 Bullants teams who competed across all divisions.  We hope you have had a great season.  Of the 11 teams eligible for finals, 7 will take the court this weekend in the semi finals, an excellent result for our club.  Good luck players, we know you will represent Bullants well.

A few reminders about the finals series:

GAME TIMES ARE DIFFERENT FOR FINALS:

Juniors – 10:30 am for all divisions
Inters 1 & 3 – 1 pm this week.  Next week game times for all Inters will be 12 pm

There will be no draws, we will play until we have a result.

Court time:  This is the serious stage of the season and coaches will be focusing on achieving a win for their team. As per our player policy – 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.

Players: Come to the courts GAME READY with plenty of time to warm up.  You need to take the court at the 30 second mark to ensure the game starts on time.  Remember good sportsmanship is remembered and valued long after the game has ended.  Play with passion and integrity and you are a winner regardless of the result.  You’ve GOT THIS!!

Scorers: We need one scorer for each team to be on the scoring bench to work collaboratively with the other scorer.  Thanks to the wonderful volunteers who take on this role.

Spectators:  all spectators need to be on the opposite side of the court to the players bench.  Please let the coaches do their thing, be respectful of the umpires and the opposition.  Cheer wildly when we score, but don’t forget to acknowledge great play from the opposition.  Remember, the world doesn’t end if our teams don’t win, support your child with encouragement even in defeat.

Go Bullants!!!!

Dear Bullants Families,

This week it is Bullant’s turn to run the SCNA BBQ. This is a great fundraising activity and an opportunity for volunteers to help the club.

We need volunteers in different shifts from 8.15pm to 1.15pm.

Please sign up using the link below. No experience is necessary!

With the end of season approaching there are a few administration items to arrange.

Team Photos

Could Team Managers please let us know which of the next two Saturdays is best for a team photo. For example, which week will have the most players available? Once you know, can you email bullantsnetball@gmail.com. Bernadette will be our trusty photographer and she would like teams to be at their designated courts 20 minutes before their game so she can get around to do photos. We then present the photos to the teams at the end of the year.

End of Winter Season Event

Mark it in your calendar – Wednesday 25 September 6pm will be our end of winter season event. We are going to hold the event at the courts this year. More information will be forthcoming.

Awards

We will be collecting input for the end of season ‘Player’s Player Awards’ shortly. Nomination slips will be provided to teams for players to fill in and awards provided at the end of season event.

Volunteers

The Bullants Netball Club is a volunteer organisation. We will be holding our AGM on 27 October, time and venue to be finalised. If you would like to be involved, even for just a small part of our activity, you would be most welcome. Drop us an email at bullantsnetball@gmail.com or talk to a committee member at the courts.

Summer/Twilight Season

The twilight season will be held on Monday nights this year, starting on 14 October. It is a great opportunity for all players – existing, new or those who have not played for a while – to get back on court and have fun. It runs over 8 weeks and takes all levels. We have had mixed teams with mums, kids, dads and brothers. So, consider your teams and keep an eye out for registration links on this blog.

Thank-you

Bullants Committee
