Bullants Netball Club Inc.

Looks like the worst of the weather has passed so see you all at training. Please remember to pick up your uniform tonight as we cant hand it out on Saturday.

Just a reminder we are on term break now.  Netball will resume on Wednesday 26 April for training.

Safe travels if you are lucky enough to be getting away. 

Hey Chiefs. The CGGS team you were playing has forfeited so no game for you today. Spread the word.

Looks like a sunny day for tomorrows rounds. District grading continues for Juniors (10-12) and Inters (12-2).  The draws are on the SCNA website. Please remember to come game ready; no piercings, long nail and with hair tied back.  Please leave the dog at home. 

We will be training on this coming Wednesday but will then break for the holidays resuming Wednesday 26 April. 

See you at the courts

Dear SCNA Community
The SCNA Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday 5 April 2017 at 7pm at the Deakin Netball Courts.

All clubs must provide at least one representative to attend this meeting however we ask that you invite all your families to consider nominating for a position on the SCNA Executive.

The SCNA District is run by volunteers and cannot operate without an elected Executive committee.  You do not have to be a netball expert; we value many skills sets including financial, marketing, event management and general organisation management.  Please find attached the agenda for the meeting and a nomination form. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Regards

Attachment:  Agenda -SCNA AGM 2017

I hope everyone is excited for tomorrow’s games.  Please meet your coach 30 minutes before the start of your game over on the grass court 9.  Once the days games start we need to keep the hard court area free for those players and supporters who are on the court playing.  All warm ups (with the exception of NSG SET) will take place on the grass courts.  Please come game ready; nails trimmed, piercings removed, hair tied back, smile on.  Please leave your furry friends at home.

Game start times (arrive 30 mins before):
NSG SET: 9am  (coaches briefing 8:40)
Juniors Go: 10 am (coaches briefing 9:40)
Juniors – 10-12pm (4 grading games)
Inters: 12-2pm (4 grading games)
Seniors: 2pm or 3:15 pm

Wet weather: Assume we are playing!  The decision to cancel will not be made until close to the start of the game.

Uniform: If your order hasn’t arrived yet then black shorts/skirt and white top will be fine.

Canteen: The roster will be out next week but feel free to pop in and help out…we are all volunteers at SCNA.

The SCNA office is not a Bullants office; the people working there will not know where your uniform is or what team you are on.  I will be at the courts all day (the one with the shaved head) but I also coach at times.  Look for a Bullants person with a black/red tshirt who will be able to help.

See you at the courts

As I watch the radar it appears that more rain is to follow this afternoon’s storm so training is cancelled today.  I will post reminders about Saturday’s games  on Friday so check the blog, Facebook or your email (if you have clicked the follow link of the blog…hint, hint) before heading to the courts.  Cheers Ruth 

We will be sending team announcement notices on the weekend; thank you for your patience as we work through the allocations.  This year we have 176 players to place into 18 teams so it has taken a little bit of sorting.  When we select players into teams we take many aspects into consideration (age, size, rep commitments, athleticism, enthusiasm) and we do our best to match up players.  We ask that parents support our decisions and encourage their child to fully engage in the team they are placed.  Once teams are announced we will need a manager for each.  The manager organises the scoring roster and canteen roster as well as other tasks as required.  Please consider volunteering for this role.

The SCNA competition starts on Saturday 25 March.  The NSG SET (9am) and Juniors Go (10 am) draws will be posted on the weekend.  Juniors and Inters will participate in 2 weeks of District grading.  Juniors will play between 10am – 12 pm and Inters 12 -2 pm,  Seniors draws will be posted on the weekend.  Warm up starts 30 minutes before the start of the game.

Just a reminder that players should arrive game ready to training as well as the game.  This means no jewelry, nails trimmed and drink bottle full.

So we are nearly there…looking forward to getting the season started.

Pop into the pavillion this afternoon, we have most of the uniform tgat was ordered before Monday ready to go

If you haven’t registered yet please get on and do it asap (http://bullants.act.netball.com.au/Winter-competition.aspx?rw=c).  We need to finalise teams and it is very tricky if we don’t have players registered.  Players not registered may miss out on being allocated to a team (which would be very sad).  If you are having issues with the registration please drop us an email at bullantsnetball@gmail.com
