We are looking forward to our next season and invite you to play netball with a great bunch of young ( and some slightly older !) ladies. In 2010 we will be fielding 3 netball teams in A B & C grades in 1st Division of the Yarra Valley & Mountain District League. The philosophy of our netball teams is to be inclusive, have lots of fun, enjoy playing, to provide training so everyone can improve their individual skills and to contribute and work together in true team spirit. Come and join us for what will be a great year.
Pre-season. Starts November 9th – 6pm Olinda Reserve
This year we have the opportunity to join with the football teams in a pre-season program. Pre-season will focus on fitness and core body strength to get us really ready to take the court.
First session will do some fitness testing so we can all measure our personal fitness improvement. Some sessions we will be working with the football teams – but some of the activities will be modified especially to gain the sort of fitness required for netball.
Come along & meet the challenge. We’ll all be pretty unfit to start with – so don’t be embarrassed or let that hold you back, we can all puff along together.
Netball Training
Training will start mid January & will again be on Thursdays nights. Training times to be confirmed but will generally fall between 6pm – 8pm followed by a hearty ( and cheap) dinner in the clubrooms. . We may also do some fitness work on Tuesday nights.
Training will be structured so that there is some time for each team to work individually and some common time between all teams for drills and for practice matches.
Netball “ bonding” Camp & Training weekend – 27th & 28th February 2010
A weekend netball training camp will be held again at our own exclusive beach location! We had a fabulous time last camp & this camp will prove to be even better. Lock this date into your diaries & don’t miss out.
It will be a combination of team challenges, fitness activities on the beach, we may try another triathalon ( & try not to get people lost on the bike leg this time! ), evening shenanigans & good food.
Netball Competition – the season usually starts in mid March – date to be advised.
We will car pool for the few games we play further away from home so everyone doesn’t need to drive themselves if they don’t want to.
Umpires needed– interested in earning some $? There are VNA umpire training courses the club can assist you with.
New players are most welcome – we are looking for more players to be able to field 3 teams every week. Anyone interested is welcome to come along to training to get a feel for the club & meet the netball players.
