All players should be in bodysuits, white socks and sneakers but remember to rug up as training nights do tend to get a little nippy. Team managers will send out a reminder the day before with your team’s allocated time slot.

UMPIRE REPORT
As you may all know, STMNC new umpires Julia  (12A, 11B) and Alicia  (13B, 14A Varroville) have been kindly trained and coached as they umpire by wonderful volunteers from other clubs and the CDNA.

We have received great feedback about the professionalism of both girls and we have been informed that they will both be Badged before the season ends.

Congratulations to both girls for their hard work and making the club proud. Not only have they been umpiring, but they coach the Under 9’s and play for the Grad D team! That’s dedication!
We had four girls complete their Level 1 Umpire Accreditation Course last year who are now ready to start umpire training with Linda Kable of Cobras on Wednesday nights in preparation for Night comp umpiring.

Let’s ensure we all support and encourage our girls as they learn and develop their umpiring skills.

PREPARE FOR GAMES
Just a quick reminder for parents to ensure players always have a water bottle for training and games and also to ensure nails are cut and jewellery removed before games on Saturdays.

This saves time and avoids the loss of jewellery taken out in a hurry.

STMNC = GOOD SPORTS
As you know, the club has a zero tolerance policy towards abusive, inappropriate and aggressive behavior towards players, other club’s players, officials and coaches and managers.
As many of you are also connected with St Thomas More School, you would understand that we carry the same values and expect the same level of integrity on the netball courts.
We would like to thank you for your support and co-operation in providing a safe and happy environment for your children to play in.
If you are unsure as to what is appropriate sideline behavior please ask a member of the executive or your team manager for a copy of the Code of Conduct.

TUESDAY NIGHT TRAINING
Aside from a couple of nights that have been washed out, attendance at training has been excellent and is going very well.

Training is important for skill development and fitness as well as team building and the improvements are already showing. Well done Coaches!

Please remember to contact your team manager if you are not able to attend training or games.

INJURIES ON THE COURT

Coaches and Managers, please report all injuries to the Association as soon as you can so that the injured player or official can claim for non-Medicare medical expenses they may incur.  The claim form can be downloaded here

We hope all our wounded warriors can return to the court soon.

It’s holiday time – there will be no games played on April the 16th and 23rd except for Nettas and Div 10 who will be playing on the April the 16th.

Tuesday night training will still be on for most teams throughout the holidays so please check with your team manager if you are not sure.  We encourage training through the holidays to avoid interrupting the development of the player’s skills and fitness.

STMNC INFORMATION DESK
