Season is well underway now, with training intensifying, a number of junior games already played and the first senior match now played. 4 wins from 4 on Sunday! Both U14 teams won, U16 won their second match convincingly and Northern League team won their first match.
We also had a number of our athletes, coaches, and volunteers heavily involved in the Jets Farewell match on Friday, a fabulous demonstration of netball! And a number of our athletes away on England Performance Camp in Loughborough for the weekend.
Big thanks to all the committee members and coaches for all their work to be ready for the season. It's worth noting that there's an incredible amount of admin work to affiliate all the players, register all the teams and then all the players, check all the fixtures (some 150 from about 6 different sources), book venues, and collect fees and forms so that everyone can play legitimately and be insured, ensure we follow all the rules, post results etc etc etc!!!!
In terms of club communications, we try to do a weekly update, but also please use the website, Twitter and Facebook. Here's the latest position on a few things:
Good luck to our Netball Nights teams this week on Wednesday, to WY Senior for Saturdays clash between last season’s 1st and 2nd teams, and on Sunday we have 8 teams playing matches (all 3 x U12, both U14 teams, our U16 team and both premier and northern league matches in seniors!).
