We have six teams trying for a spot in the Grand finals next week, joining the four teams we already have there. As I mentioned last week, we are at the pointy end of the season and coaches may make the decision to play certain combinations of players that work best for the team. All players and parents are asked to respect the coaching decisions; they are made for the advancement of the team not an individual player. If you need to chat to the coach, please do so briefly before or after the game as they will be focusing on the players in the lead up and during the game.
Game times are as follows:
10:30 am – Sioux
12 pm – Arapaho & Kiowa
2 pm – Mohicans & Braves
3:15 pm – Chickasaw

Good luck girls!

Scoring – Thanks to those who take on the role of scoring in the finals…it can be a stressful job! Please make sure you are standing with the opposition scorer so that there is no dispute in the end result.

End of season party – we need to finalise the catering so Sunday is your last day to RSVP. It would be great to have all our families down at the courts with a picnic rug to celebrate the achievements of the players and club. So if you haven’t already done so CLICK here to RSVP
