NETBALL

Dear Netball families, 

Hopefully your child had a great first game on Saturday! Unfortunately, some of our NET, SET, GO! games had to be called off due to weather, but at least they had a bit of a game!

A massive thank you to the people who showed up to help get pads, desks, ice, etc out at 11am.  Thanks to the ladies who were there to help man the umpire desk. All the other club committee members are jealous of the fact that St Nichs has awesome volunteers- so thank you! 

Thanks to the coaches!  Coaching can be scary and intimidating. Please ensure you thank your coaches! Players- St Nicholas prides itself on being competitive but with exceptional sportsmanship. Even if other teams do not necessarily show this, we take the high road and stay classy! 

Have a wonderful week! 

Emma
