Hey Everyone,
i made this as a way of communication between us all for netball games.. Dodn't really work before but i thought i may as well give it another try.

I will post the time and place of each game and u can reply via a message, a phone call, in person or a message left here.

But remember that if u don't say ur playing u wont be on the list... I can't make assumptions with two soccer teams competing for the night

This weeks game is at 8 at Unley. Get to the venue at 20 to! See you then!

Love ya all

A WIN : D

WELL DONE EL CHAMPIONS WHO PLAYED ON SUNDAY

For all those who were unable to witness the event we had a win!

10-13 our way! And as steph nicely pointed out we would have won even if they opposition had not given us two goals to start with!

GO TEAM WOO HOO

Anyways- I think we have unanamously agreed that the second quater was shocking but when everyone started to slow down and think in the last quater things became much tighter and we had a lot less silly turnovers. (lose the ball to the opposition - ie throw out of court or to the opposition.) So congrats guys, the team is really coming together!

Details of next weeks game are as follows:

Date: 23/10
Time: 5:30
Venue: St Johns

If you could let me know via message, in person, email or perhaps the easiest comment on this blog letting me know if you can play this week it would be great!
And once again well done!

Game 2

2005-10-14T00:55:00.000-07:00

Okay i have a list of nine people who have indicated to me in some way or another that they wish to play this week:

Kel
Ali
Jacob
Mike
Raf
Juan
Steph
Cait
Tate

If you wish to be added/removed from this list before sunday at 10 in the morning you can leave a message on the commet spot. If it is any later than that please give me a call as i can't be sure that i will check it after then.

Some things that we need to work on this week:

This segment is going to contain the word and then an explanation... if you all understand then thats great. and i'm not trying to sound all intellectually superior or anything just i don't know if people know what these terms mean. So if you know then you dont have to read the bit in italics-

Leading-Leading for the ball is when you break away from the opposition defending you in order to receive a pass.
It is important because it allows for easy passes and lessens the chance of long silly passes that go astray.

Knowing your positions- not going to explain this...
Basically just know where your position will have the most impact and its duty. You don't have to read it all... just the spot where you think you would like to play.

C- picks up the slack all over the court allowing the ball to quickly get away from the oppositions goal and quickly up to our end for scoring. Centre both attacks and defends

WA- Feeds the ball to the goalies. With centre, the WA's job is to get the ball across the middle third and to the goal ppl.

GA- Shoot goals. Basically the GA can move away from the circle, but should be ready to get back in it as quickly as possible. If the ball is in the goal third then aim to only leave the circle if there is no possible pass available to you.

GS- Once again shooting goals is the main role of the GS. GS should stay in the goal circle. This allows for quick sneaky passes into the ring.

GA/GS- remember to lead in the goal circle because passing over the top is very difficult. Especially if the defence is tall.

WD- stick to the wing attack and defend. The wing attack is the feeder and if you can stop the ball from getting fed into the circle it saves the chance of a goal to the opposition.

GD- Uhh defend the GA.. sorry i have zilch experience in this position

GK- Likewise... sept with GS.

Yeah.. i'll probably end up explaining this at the game... but this will most likely be more comprehensive.

See you all then

Hi guys. This is the netball blog. I have made it so that I can pass on netball info easily so check it relatively close to Sundays!

WELL DONE TO LAST WEEKS PLAYERS! I know we lost but from where i stood/ran we did really well and there was a bit improvement from first to last quarter.

Next weeks game info:
Date- 16/10
Playing: 'Music Box'
Time: 6:20
Venue: Unley, Ct 1.

Pls get there by at least 6 so we can sort out game fee and positions and perhaps even get a little warming up done.

If you could comment in the comments bit saying whether you are available or not for this game
it would be fantastic.. just so i can figure out numbers and stuff.

Each week I will post this information and if you could let me know if you can play by commenting on the post it would help heaps. If you do not have internet access or are having problem just let me know!

Also if you have questions about the last game or rules or anything just ask away and i will answer the best i can.

Thanks guys

luv ya all! MWAH
