President's Report
Welcome to Season 2015!!
We welcome all of our members, new and
those returning to Baulkham Hills for another
season. I certainly hope that everyone has
taken an opportunity to grab a well-earned
short break from netball and you are looking
forward to a fun and friendly season. Everyone has been working hard behind the
scenes to ensure our season runs as smoothly as possible and I’m sure all players and
coaches are working hard at training to
ward their goals for the season. We wish
you all the best of luck for your competition.

have some exciting events coming up to help
us celebrate this milestone.

New Canteen
We have some big changes to go with our
new look for 2015!
Over the break the Association with assistance from The Hills Shire Council has
carried out a full refurbishment of the
Canteen. Over $80,000 has been spent,
with Council providing just over $50,000
and your Association funds making up
the balance. It’s now all fresh and new.
 Our menu has been updated with a
focus on healthy snacks - but we still
have all your favourites available.
 Barista coffees and herbal teas will be
available

‘Tap & Go’ - EFTPOS will be available
at the Canteen and the BBQ so no
more scrounging for coins in the back
seat of the car….just tap and go.
Plus, tables and chairs will be set up for
you to enjoy your breaks during the day.
We have lots of new items to make your
time at the Netball Complex more enjoyable, so come over to see and taste the
changes.

tem. You should be able to hear everything loud & clear!!
During the off season there has been a
hive of activity at the complex and in particular three major projects were completed – canteen refurbishment, court
upgrades and maintenance and lighting &
PA upgrade.
Court upgrades and maintenance
Upgrades to courts 15, 16, 18 19, 20, 21,
22, 23 have been completed and minor
maintenance work carried out on a number of other courts. Repair work was also
done in various areas around the Administration building and in the Gazebo area.
Public Announcement system (PA)
For a few seasons now you have let us
know that it’s pretty hard to hear announcements, particularly if playing
around courts 23 to 39. We have carried
out significant maintenance to the PA sys-
Replacement of Court and Security
Lighting
The court and security lighting have been
upgraded to modern and efficient
sporting complex lighting system standard. The original lights were installed in 1990 and
with the exception of globe replacements and minor repairs; no major refurbishment had
taken place since that time. For those of you training at night you might need your
shades.
Members will feel the benefit of a refurbished and revitalised complex when the first
whistle blows to signal the commencement of Week 1 for the 2015 BHSNA Winter sea-

Umpires’ Utterings
Hello and Welcome to 2015 Netball Season
Every other grade and timeslot will have NEUTRALLY allocated clubs on the games.
Change in Umpiring Fixture for 2015 Season
A neutral umpiring fixture will be used for all
grades with the following exceptions.
Important Reminders for Players and Coaches
Jewellery
 There is a Netball rule that states NO JEWELERY is to be worn.
 This rule is enforced by Umpires for the safety of ALL players.
 Coaches, please be proactive to ensure your
players know that they cannot wear any
jewellery and they cannot cover any piercing
with a Band-Aid.
 Such players will NOT be able to take the
court until the jewellery is removed.
 A medic-alert bracelet taped to the arm is
permitted for obvious reasons.

All divisions 9years, 8years and 7years will
be umpire your own game.
 Teams who play against the Junior Representative teams in 13A, 15A, 21A and OpenA1 will umpire their own game.
 Round 15 Tuesday 28 July will be umpire
your own game.
 St Paul’s Netball Club will always be allocated to umpire their St Pauls 4 (PWD team) in
the Open D2 grade.
“Congratulations to our National badged umpires who support our
senior representatives playing State League. ”
NetSetGo
 All 7years and 8years divisions use a 2.5m goal ring and goals may be scored through either goalring.
 All 9years, 8years and 7years use a Size 4 ball for the entire competition.
 All 9Gold, 9 Green, 8Gold, 8Green, 8Navy play under NetSetGO modified rules with a normal C pass
for the entire competition.
 9 Netball division play under normal rules from round 1.
 Umpires on these age divisions should be experienced and act as ‘rule educators’ and not rule enforcers, therefore they should hold a current theory pass.
Congratulations to our National badged umpires who support our senior representatives playing State
League. Netball NSW require a minimum of 78 each week and this Association is providing up to 12 each
week. It is an extraordinary achievement.
Club convenors’ are invited to a Club Umpire Convenor Meeting to be held Tuesday 10 March, 7.30pm,
Kellyville Admin Building. We have 8 new club convenors this year so this opportunity to meet other
convenors, share ideas and have your questions answered should not be missed.

Coaching Corner
We had 56 players attend the Catherine Cox,
Kim Green and Sharni Layton coaching clinic
on 16.02.15. It was a fantastic opportunity
for the girls that attended to be coached by
Australian Diamonds and NSW Swifts players.
I expect to see many of the girls that attended trying some of their new skills on Saturdays…….especially the Sharni suggestions!!!
Expect to hear a lot of noise from our circle
defenders.
The Foundation Course held on the 8/3/15
was fully booked with 11 participants signing
up to join in this wonderful opportunity .
NNSW have changed the way they want
these courses paid for and require all participants to book and pay NNSW online. More
information is available on our website.
The following courses are still open: Foundation Course on 19/04/15 and Development
Course on 17/5/15
