Congratulations to those teams who made it through to the semis this weekend. It’s a very exciting part of the season for the club and players. Please take the time to read through this report as there is something for everyone!!
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 those 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!
Some important notices:
- Canteen duty this Saturday from 12-4.30pm. Joeys have to supply 3 volunteers throughout this period. See roster below.
- Important procedures and tips for Finals series were sent to managers last week and have been included again on this newsletter. Please have all parent helpers and players aware of rules for the finals series. It is recommended that all teams should have one player as a captain throughout the finals series who can speak on behalf of the team if necessary. Please remember the captain is the only Joeys representative allowed to approach an umpire.
- Joeys have to supply a team for PWD game next Saturday,23/8/14 (Finals). Seeing the 12AR’s and 12B2’s games were washed out during the season can the managers Jo Henderson and Mike Breen ask for 7 girls to volunteer. The time is 8am and court is to be confirmed.
- Summer Comp Registration is now due. Please forward team sheets to our head registrar urgently at gmjlkfamily@iprimus.com.au
Congratulations to the sixteen 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 ask me to arrange for a mentor. The girls will need to be prepared for the excitement of the atmosphere, the crowds can be overwhelming 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 1st year of netball and are learning the rules quickly. We are looking forward to seeing our talented 9 year olds playing full competition rules next year on the asphalt courts.
