Grading is Done — Bring on Winter 2026!
The PNA has completed grading for the Winter 2026 season and all of our teams are now settled into their final divisions. It’s been a busy few weeks of trial games and a lot of nervous energy, but the hard part is behind us — every Dynamites team now knows where they’ll be playing, and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.
This season is shaping up to be a big one. We have more teams than ever on court, a fantastic group of coaches, and players who have come back this year ready to work. Whether your daughter is playing her first season of competition or her fifth, there is so much to look forward to.
A reminder that we’re well and truly into winter now, so please come prepared! Bring a jacket, an umbrella if rain is forecast, and keep phones, bags and valuables covered or tucked away — the courts are exposed and wet weather can arrive quickly. Keeping everything dry makes for a much more enjoyable game day for everyone.
Here’s to a brilliant season ahead. Go Dynamites!
Dynamites Players Selected for PIPP Program
We are incredibly proud to share that two of our players have been selected for the Perth Identified Players Pathway (PIPP) Program through the Perth Netball Association.
Congratulations to Xanthe Semmens and Elsey Lohman White on this outstanding achievement. The PIPP program identifies talented players from across the PNA competition and gives them access to elite coaching, skill development and representative pathways. Being selected is a significant honour, and both girls have absolutely earned it.
Watching our players grow, develop and earn recognition like this is exactly what the Dynamites is all about. We couldn’t be prouder. Go get it, girls!
Coach Spotlight: Meet Anneliese
Every great team has a great coach behind it, and the Year 5/6 Team 2 girls are lucky to have Anneliese in their corner.
Anneliese came to Dynamites this year through umpiring — she was working the trials when our coaching coordinator Ashleigh spotted her and asked if she’d be interested in taking on the 5/6s. Given that Anneliese is currently studying sports coaching at school, the timing couldn’t have been better.
“My favourite drill to do with the girls is around the world,” she says. “I feel it’s the perfect way to warm up before a game.” But it’s the bigger moments that make coaching worth it for her. “The best thing about coaching is seeing everyone come together and perfectly execute the skills we practised at training — and of course sharing my love of the game.”
Welcome to the coaching team, Anneliese. The girls are in great hands.
2026 Hyundai Community Raffle — Coming Soon!
We’ll soon be asking families to purchase ticket books in the Hyundai Community Raffle. 100% of proceeds come directly to our club, so we encourage players, parents and volunteers to get involved!
Early next term we’ll be distributing books of tickets to those who are keen to participate. Buying a whole book is the easiest way to be part of the action. Look out for more information soon!
Merch Is on Its Way!
We have some very exciting news for those still waiting — the last merch order is nearly here. We can’t say much more than that, but keep an eye on your inbox. It won’t be long now!
School Holidays Are Coming Up
School holidays are upon us! Some of our players are already on a break and others will be wrapping up this week. All coaches will be in touch with their teams directly to let you know whether training is on over the holidays, and where. Keep an eye on your team’s group chat for details from your coach.
Looking for something extra over the break? The Perth Netball Association often runs holiday workshops and skill development sessions during school holidays — a great opportunity for players who want some extra court time. Head to the PNA website to see what’s on.
