E Bulletin - Friends of Yorkshire Jets
The Netball Superleague season is almost here, and the Yorkshire Jets are ready to go see http://www.yorkshirejets.net for information.
As Friends of Yorkshire Jets, we support the franchise by raising funds and helping with volunteers to make a great match night experience! We particularly want to reach into the junior and senior netballing community right across Yorkshire and the Humber to offer these volunteering opportunities throughout the region.
We have seven home matches (six at Leeds Met University Netball Arena and one at Hull Bonus Arena). On each night there'll be a great Suplerleague (SL) match and an exciting warm up game, which will usually be the U19 Jets National Performance League team (NPL). This season, we will have a YJ Fanzone, where we will have space for a variety of activities to enhance the match night experience. The matches are as follows:
Fri 7th Feb – NPL vs St John’s, 5:30, SL vs Storm, 8pm
Mon 10th Feb – Warm up Humberside Academy SL vs Northumbria, 8pm (Hull)
Fri 21st Feb – NPL vs Loughborough, 5:30, SL vs Team Bath, 8pm
Fri 7th Mar - NPL vs Shipley 5:30, SL vs Dragons 8pm
Fri 14th Mar – Warm up TBC, SL vs Loughborough, 8pm
Fri 28th Mar – NPL vs Thunder 5:30, SL vs Thunder 8pm
Fri 11th Apr – Warm up TBC, SL vs Mavericks 8pm
NB Hull game is the Live Sky Game
We are after volunteers to help match night run smoothly. If you'd like to help, and get to see most of the SL game, we have roles such as face painting, raffle, nail painting, checking tickets, supporting the crowd, tuck shop, selling merchandise etc. We need most volunteers to be available from just before the warm up game starts, until just after the SL game finishes. We provide a Jets Ground Crew t shirt. No specific experience is required! Match night volunteers won't need to purchase a ticket.
Look at the match dates and drop me an email in the next week or so to marianapexton@hotmail.com to let me know:
- which match(es) you can do/want to do
- which roles you'd like to do
- your name, email address, phone number and club
Before the end of January, I'll confirm who is helping at the first couple of matches and then keep doing that as we get nearer to each match and we get additional volunteers.
We also need ten ball girls for each match, which is a great opportunity for junior clubs/school teams to come along and experience the elite game. You get one free ticket for a teacher/coach to bring the ball girl team! You can wear club or school kit. Let me know if you want to do this and which match, and again we'll confirm that opportunity depending upon demand.
If you have any queries, please get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you and to a successful Yorkshire Jets season!!
