Hi Everyone,
Special welcome to our new players, coaches and managers for 2024.
We hope you love being part of our netball club.
Week 1 is getting closer (Saturday 6th April) ...... Training started last week for most of our Junior teams.
Hopefully everyone else has had a chance to download their team contact list and make contact with their team manager. These team lists can be found on the About the Comets page in a PDF.
If your team is not training you will need to contact Ali our uniform coordinator to arrange collection of your hired uniform- uniforms@cometsnetball.com.au or 0434 821 237
Teams who are training will be able to collect uniforms from Meadowbank at training.
Most managers find it easy to communicate with a What's App group however each team has a team email which is found on your team contact list.
I am still looking for a manager for Comets 6 (C8 ) and Comets 7 (17/3) Please contact me if you can help! We must have a contact person for each team, someone who can collect the scoresheet and communicate with the team regarding training and game information. As well as bring the team bibs and match ball to the game each Saturday.
Comets have drawn the short straw with our Meadowbank Duty Allocation of Week 1!
This doesn't leave us much time to organise volunteers so I am hoping to be inundated with messages of people willing to help!
Our Club is responsible for Umpire duty, Scoresheet Table duty and canteen duty for the whole day on Sat 6th April.
Duty helpers will be paid $20 per hour. We would prefer to have people assist who can do several hours.
Information is below on the duty requirements:
-
UMPIRE TABLE DUTY (from 7:45AM to 4:45PM)
(3 people x 3hr shifts would be best)
Clubs are required to supply
one person
for duty at the Umpiring Table (
located in the Physio Room
).
The people need not be umpires, although some umpiring knowledge is helpful. It is preferable that this person is an adult. The time listed is the time at which the duty begins and does not end until the next club arrives. Teams with the last duty of the day MUST stay until at least 4.45pm.
The busiest time for this duty is the 20 minutes before the start of each timeslot – where
possible, please DO NOT schedule duty changeover within this time period.
Umpire Table duties are:
-
Arriving at the Umpiring Table at the exact time listed on the duty roster (if clubs wish to split up their roster
please make sure people change over at least 20 minutes before a game timeslot).

-
Making sure all umpires PRINT their name in the correct place on the sign on sheets.
-

5 minutes before the game timeslot and of any umpiring complaints as they are raised.

It may be that there is no Umpire on Duty during some timeslots or they are out on the courts. If there is no Umpire on Duty then the Control Tower can be contacted on 02 9874 2190. If the Umpire on Duty is on the courts, they are contactable by mobile phone with the contact numbers provided to the duty person at the Umpire Table.
