There is a lot of work that goes into

bringing you netball Wednesday, Friday

and Saturday. Apart from the committee

who give up a huge amount of their time

there are some great volunteers who step

in when help is needed. We couldn't do it

without your help.

Thanks to the people who help put up and

take down the goal post pads every week.

Also to the people who adjust the goal

rings for Net Set Go. It is a big help and

much appreciated.

Also thank you to the helpers in the can-

teen who help the ladies keep it running

smoothly.

Also to the umpires who step in when

umpires ring late to say they can’t umpire.

We thank you for helping get the games

run on time.

So if you see something you know needs

doing please help and maybe let the

people who always do it have the week

off.

Jackie Seymour—Editor

As we approach the halfway mark of the

season teams are starting to settle into

their sections and are improving every

week.

It is great to see so many supporters

coming down to the courts to watch and

encourage their teams. We welcome the

decision to provide more car parking as

our numbers are growing and it is very

difficult to get a park. Not only for

netball for but football, YMCA members,

tennis and all the sporting facilities at the

Bar Reserve.

A visit from Cathy McGowan a couple of

weeks ago was a good chance for

families to have a voice. We look

forward to welcoming Cathy again during

the season. As we are working on grants

for new courts we would love to have her

support.

We have been offering free coaching

clinics run by local coaches this season.

This is open to all coaches, players and

umpires. They are being held monthly

with the first one held in May coached by

Mandy Martin.

The second clinic was held Tuesday 3rd

June coached by Robyn Smith. As you

can above it was well supported.

There will be another clinic running

during the season. Each session works

on different areas of the game. This is

an initiative to help strengthen coaching

and skills in our association.

Our Rep girls head to Albury for their

final tournament at Regionals on the

14th June. We wish them all good luck

and hope they enjoy the experience.

Another reminder to supporters to be

respectful of our umpires. They are

giving up their time and they don’t gain

confidence if they are being targeted. If

you have any queries or concerns please

come up and ask at the window and a

committee member can help you. Most

importantly is for teams to enjoy

playing without the pressure from

supporters to win.

We have umpire sessions held at the

netball courts for those who would like

to take up umpiring.

Robyn Smith free coaching clinic supported by around 80 enthusiastic players.

Session was on attacking and footwork skills.

Competition Semi Finals started this

week. Good luck to all the

teams in finals. Thanks to all

the teams who competed this season.

Our Registration Night for our next competition is

Wednesday July 15th. Our next season commences

Wednesday August 5th.

Could all teams make sure they have all players money

together with the team registration sheet. If all the

teams waiting to register. We do not take individual

payments, they must all be with the team sheet.

Congratulations to the teams through to the Grand Final

Albury Tournament—9th May 2015.

The Albury Tournament was a very wet

and trying day for all players, parents

and coaches. I would personally like to

thank our umpires for enduring the wild weather to en-

able us to participate. Out 17/Under side coura-

geously got to the Grand Final however were beaten by

11 goals to our rivals Albury. The girls played hard com-

petitive netball all day in very wild wet weather. All other

age groups finished in the Top 4 in their sections

however did not make finals. All teams will compete in

the Echuca tournament. This tournament is the last

tournament for our development squads in the 13’s and

15’s. After the Echuca Tournament the A and B sides

will be training hard before we attend the Zone Champi-

onships in Albury on the 14th June.

Net Set Go Tier 1 & 2

5—7 YEAR OLDS (Friday nights

4.30—5.30pm)

Only a couple of rounds to go. Look-

ing around, there is so much improve-

ment in the children’s skills.

It also looks terrific to see the children in their new tops.

8-10 YEAR OLDS (Saturday mornings

11.00—11.50am) On the weekend of the 23rd May we had the netballers from

Wang Maggies join us to assist teams with warm ups and um-

piring. This was greatly appreciated by the teams involved.

All participants have received their packs, big thanks to Wendy

for coordinating these.

Coaches are all starting to see a big improvement in the players

skills and there is a positive vibe around the courts.

Big thanks to the weather for being kind to us thus far!

Committee Profile

Cheryl Peters—Representative Netball

Co-ordinator,

Started with WNA 2010. Positions held: Net set go Coordinator/ Rep Coordinator/ Coach/Umpire/Player.

What made you join: I have loved netball all my life so when I saw the opportunity to give something back I jumped at the chance. I love see-

ing the kids out their playing and all the atmosphere the sup-porters create. I love watching the little net set go kids play they are so keen and also the future of netball What would you like to see for WNA: I would love to see WNA stay a strong association and also be around when our courts and clubrooms are upgraded Any funny stories: I can remember 1 Saturday morning when we lost power and had no siren. We grabbed pots and pans and started banging them around the courts to try and stop the game instead of the siren it was a classic the kids kept playing and the only reaction we got was them looking at us like we were from Mars. What are some great achievements you have seen in your time at WNA: Since joining WNA I have seen the introduction of our 5/7 year olds Net Set Go programme and last year saw our first ever Under 11 rep teams. Our committee has grown with some great people coming on board. What do you enjoy about being on the committee: I am proud to be a part of WNA it is fun and we get to mix with a lot of the community. If anyone out there would like to get involved we would welcome you. Its a great committee who have a lot fun and work together to ensures our competitions run well.
