To those teams whose season is now over, I hope you have enjoyed the fun, fitness and community atmosphere that team sport brings. Celebrate the highlights of the season and please support and celebrate with us, the teams that made it through to the semis. To the coaches and managers of these teams, thank you for all you have done for the girls and for your continued support of the Club. And to our parent canteen volunteers, thank you also for your efforts, the club can’t run without you!

Congratulations to the fourteen teams that made it through- we will be cheering for you. To the coaches of these teams, your work is not quite finished, you have a very exciting part of the season yet to go!  If you need a hand with preparation remember the Energy Netball website, or please take Jo Henderson or David Bulmer up on their offer to support you if you need it. The girls will need to be prepared for the excitement of the atmosphere, so good luck encouraging them to enjoy it and embrace the moment by showing everyone what they can do!!

Our Nursery games, 8’s and 9’s finished at Seymour Shaw on Saturday with an SSNA Presentation. Our 8’s have done very well in their 1^st year of netball and are learning the rules quickly. We are looking forward to seeing all our talented 9 year olds playing full competition rules next year on the asphalt courts.

Our Net Set Go Program finished last Friday and was a huge success with the girls and the parents. Not only were they the best dressed girls in the park, but the detail of the program allowed them to develop their skills beautifully and give them a wonderful foundation of netball. Congratulations to Jo Henderson and her outstanding team of helpers; Isabelle, Jackie, Lara, Tessa, Sophie, Brooke, Ashleigh and Claudia on the success of the program and thank you for the care, effort and time you have given to our youngest members.

Thank you to those who have already contacted me with expressions of interest and numbers of players so far. If you only have a few girls interested then please don’t hesitate to email me and I will forward the contact details of other coaches and managers in the same or similar age groups for you to contact as they may be in a similar situation. Also, please remember you are allowed to ask players outside of the Joeys camp.
