Dynamites Netball Club
Welcome to the May edition. Game On Launch Day was a cracker, the long weekend gives everyone a breather, and we are gearing up for the FightMND Round 5 with an Ice Bucket Challenge you will not want to miss. Plus a moment to mark National Volunteer Week and say thank you to the people who make this club run.
Our Season Launch lived up to its name. Robertson Park was buzzing from start to finish, with players, parents and coaches turning out in full Dynamites force. The specialist training sessions across our three age groups were a standout, with our qualified coaches putting players through their paces and lifting skills ahead of round one.
A special thanks to our Coach Coordinators Eloise and Robyn for organising the specialist coaching and fun court sessions, and to our partners for the day, Tennis Central and Busy Girl Club, who helped make the experience bigger than netball alone.
Thank you also to every family who came along, to the coaches and committee members who ran the day, and to the City of Vincent for backing us as the only community netball club in the area.
The energy on Sunday is exactly what Dynamites is about. Inclusive, vibrant and connected. We cannot wait to see that same spirit on the courts this Winter season.

PNA is taking a break for the long weekend, which means no Dynamites games on Thursday 28, Friday 29 or Saturday 30 May. Enjoy the time off, rest sore legs, and we will see you back at Matthews the following week.
The Big Freeze is one of Australian sport’s most loved traditions. Born from AFL legend Neale Daniher’s fight against Motor Neurone Disease, it has raised millions for MND research and brought the country together behind the iconic blue beanie.
This year PNA is joining the fight, hosting a FightMND Round at Matthews on Saturday 6 June with an Ice Bucket Challenge, and two of our own are putting their hands up to take the plunge. Coaches Charlotte and Eloise are doing it for a great cause, and we want every Dynamites family there to cheer them on.

Bring the kids, bring your loudest cheer, and come down to watch two of our coaches freeze for a great cause. Every dollar to FightMND goes toward research and supporting Australians living with MND.
Netball runs differently to school sport when it comes to weather. PNA will only cancel games for lightning or genuinely unsafe conditions, and they do not announce cancellations in advance.
That means heavy rain, wind or cold is not a reason to stay home. Players and families should prepare to attend and play in all conditions. Pack a rain jacket, a warm change of clothes, and an umbrella for the sideline.
If conditions become unsafe on the day, PNA will let everyone know over the loudspeaker at Matthews, either before or during the game.
Unless your Coach contacts you directly, training goes ahead in all weather. Bring layers, sturdy shoes and a positive attitude.
A gentle nudge for families: training is one of the best things your child can do for their mental health. An hour on court with their teammates, moving, laughing and switching off from school, often does more than another hour at the desk. The kids who least feel like coming are often the ones who get the most out of it.
As we head deeper into the season, please take a moment to refresh yourself on our Philosophy and Code of Conduct. The intensity lifts in regular fixtures, and our umpires (most of them young people giving up their weekends) deserve our respect at every match.
Cheer loudly. Support the kids. Trust the umpires. That is the Dynamites way.
