As the weather hopefully begins to warm up, so does the excitement for our much-anticipated Spring Netball Competition! Round One kicks off this Saturday, and we are absolutely thrilled to welcome all teams, players, and supporters to what promises to be a season full of energy, teamwork, and fun. This year is particularly special as we are expanding our competition to include ten additional teams, a testament to our community's growing passion for netball and the hard work behind the scenes by our executive and administrative team. EDNA warmly welcomes all new and returning players, and we can’t wait to see you on the courts this weekend for what’s sure to be an exhilarating start to the season.
To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved, we’d like to remind all participants and spectators of a few key points:
1. Team Managers: Your role is crucial in keeping the competition organized. Please make sure to mark your team’s attendance as soon as you arrive. This helps us keep track of all players and ensures that each match starts on time with the correct participants on the court.
2. Scorers: It’s essential that scorers from both teams stand together on the sidelines during the match. By standing side by side, scorers can easily communicate and confirm scores, reducing the likelihood of errors and ensuring that the game is recorded accurately. This small act of collaboration helps maintain the integrity of the competition and fosters a spirit of teamwork even off the court.
3. Respect for Umpires: We’d like to emphasize EDNA’s strict policy of zero tolerance towards any negative comments or behaviour directed at umpires. Umpires play a vital role in making sure the games are fair and enjoyable for everyone. It’s important to remember that they are there to ensure the rules are followed and to create a positive environment for all players. Let’s show our respect and appreciation for their hard work by keeping all interactions respectful and focusing on the fun and camaraderie of the game.
As we gear up for this exciting new season, we look forward to seeing the vibrant netball community come together once again. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the game, this competition is all about enjoying the sport, building friendships, and creating lasting memories. Let’s make this a fantastic start to the Spring Netball Competition with plenty of enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and, above all, fun! See you all on the courts this Saturday!
