👕  Uniforms
Distributed this week
Collected at training

Uniforms were distributed at training this week. If your player was not at training, please get in touch with your Coordinator to arrange collection ahead of round one.

Any questions about sizing or your order, speak to your Coordinator at training.

🎒  Team Bags & Equipment

Team bags have been prepared for every team and are available at Matthews Netball Centre on game day for Team Managers to take ownership of.

  • Team Managers: collect your team bag at Matthews on game day.
  • Discuss with your Coach: agree who is responsible for the team bag each week so it always makes it to the courts.
  • Pen handy! Make sure there is always a pen in the bag for the scoresheet.
  • Weekly reminder: pump up balls before every game so they are ready to play.
  • Questions? Reach out to your Coordinator for anything equipment related.
🤝  Code of Conduct & Supporting Umpires

As we head into round one, a gentle reminder for all players, parents and supporters: please take a moment to refresh yourself on our Philosophy and Code of Conduct. It guides how we behave on and off the court, and it is what makes Dynamites the inclusive, welcoming club we are proud of.

A special note about our umpires. Most umpires across the PNA competition are young people, often teenagers, who give up their Saturdays so our kids can play. They will make calls. Some you will agree with, some you will not. Either way, please support them.

A respectful sideline keeps young umpires in the game and sets the right example for our players. If we want our kids to grow up loving netball, we need umpires to feel safe and respected at every match.
