The FNA Committee has been very busy over the school holidays, organising everything.
Friday netball: Friday netball will start today at 5pm till 6pm for any players who would like to learn more skills and play netball.
The coaching session is free of charge, and players do not have to be registered with the FNA to join in the fun.
Coaching will be given by accredited coaches, and games will be played.
Anyone who would like to help deliver Friday netball is very welcome to come along and volunteer. NetSetGo will be introduced, if there is enough volunteers to help run it.
Saturday competition: Saturday competition will start tomorrow, and anyone who is still wanting to join a team is very welcome.
Teams have been formed in Divisions 1, 2 and 3, but there is still room for more players to join in.
NetSetGo will also be played on Saturday: Volunteers are needed to help deliver the competition, with coaches, managers and umpires all needed for every team.
Help will be given to any volunteer umpires who would like to learn. Parents of players are encouraged to learn.
Volunteers are also needed to help in the canteen. The canteen is the most consistent fundraiser for the FNA, and parents of players will be rostered to volunteer.
This year a canteen levy has not been introduced, so all parents are able to help, and the competition is cheaper for all families.
