The St Edward’s Netball Teams for the 2024 Winter Competition
The St Edward’s Netball Teams for the 2024 Winter Competition.
Due to children relocating we have had to move some players and teams around again. Unfortunately, this is out of our control and has had to happen to ensure our current teams are still eligible to play. Please check your child's team and their training session times.
If you don’t have a St Edward's netball uniform, there is a small amount of second hand sets available at the Primary Canteen, or new uniforms can be purchased on Compass - in the canteen menu, go to uniforms. New uniforms cost $75
Games will begin this Saturday 4th May 2024.
The draw can be found on the Tamworth Netball Association Facebook page or on the Playhq app.
Basketball Draw
Please be advised that the 5/6 Boys Competition have been regraded.
This has been based on the ladder, as well as taking into account each individual win and which team it was against. Tamworth Basketball believe that this will help to make the 5/6 Boys Comp more even and fair for all.
All team points have been carried over for the teams that have moved grades.
Please read through some housekeeping for the current basketball season
1. Tamworth Sports Dome
Our wonderful facility is operated by the Tamworth Regional Council and Tamworth Basketball share this facility with other businesses and their clients. It is important that we do not have children running through the foyer area and playing on the stairs that lead up to Rural Fit. This is for the safety of the children, as well as the other users of the Sports Dome. We have also had some instances of young children being seen to be running around the car park area unsupervised. As you can appreciate, this is a major safety concern, and we ask all parents supervise their children whilst attending the Sports Dome.
2. Spectators
Tamworth Basketball and Tamworth Region Council provide seating for spectators to use whilst watching the games. We appreciate that at times this seating can be limited when we have an increased amount of spectators watching games but we ask that spectators do not sit on the Players/Coaches benches that are situated on either side of the score bench. These benches are specifically for the players and coaches, and we need to ensure that players and coaches have an adequate area to use during their game. We are in the process of acquiring additional seating.
Spectators are also reminded not to stand or sit directly behind the baskets at either end of the court. This is for the safety of all players, referees, court supervisors and spectators. If you are asked to move along by one of Court Supervisors, please do so as we would not like to see anyone become injured from standing or sitting in this area.
3. 2024 Competition Rules and Information
We have attached a copy of the 2024 Junior Competition Rules and Information. Please read them as it outlines information relating to scoring, players, fees and other matters that help us to operate our local competitions.

If your child is in Year 6 and does not have a sibling to hand their netball/basketball uniform to, could you consider donating or selling your uniform through the school?
