Teamwork makes the dream work!
Welcome to our first newsletter for 2023! How quickly is this summer season going? We are well over the halfway mark, with finals looming in the near future! We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and those transitioning into high school have had a great first week!
While we get to the season's pointy end, support your teammates and remember that everyone has a role to play in getting the team across the finish line! Looking into the future we have a lot of exciting events on the horizon with come and try night, sideliners match, buddy night and of course trials. Looking forward to having you all on board for the winter season!
On a personal note, this will be the last you will hear from me as your president as I will be off adventuring around Australia by the time this newsletter comes out. Our AGM is coming up in March and we are taking nominations for president as well as a few other positions, read below for more information! Thank you all for supporting me in this role over the last year and a half, I have had a blast. I will still be involved in the background of the club and will see you back out on the court soon!
Amy Davis
LBNC President
Lil' Ladybirds
Our 2023 Lil' Ladybirds program starts tomorrow 2nd of February for players aged 4-8! It is a six-week program running on Thursday nights from 5:30 pm-6:30 pm. For only $25 participants will get a Lil' Ladybirds t-shirt, a netball and a medal at the conclusion of the program. There is still time to register here, please pass this on to anyone you know who is interested in trying out netball for the first time!
Come and try
Come and try is on Thursday 9th February at SUNA. All ages and abilities are welcome! Current players are encouraged to bring a friend, and new players from outside of the club can come along and get a taste of what Ladybirds is all about before committing to the winter season. We will also have a committee member in the shed to help with registrations. If you haven't already registered for winter you can do so here.
Sideliners match
Are you a parent, grandparent, coach, committee member or partner who is always cheering on their player from the sidelines? Well, Thursday the 16th of February is your time to shine! The sideliners match is a fun way to get the team's biggest supporters out onto the court, while the players cheer on from the sideline! If you are interested, please have a chat with your team's coach or email Sara at secretary@ladybirdsnetball.com. We would also like to see the craziest hairstyles from all players on and off the court!
