🌴🏐 **SPRING VIBES, SOCIAL NETBALL!** 💙💛

**NINE TEAMS. EIGHT WEEKS. LET'S GO!** 🙌

What a turnaround! With our facilities getting their much-needed makeover, we weren't sure what Spring Comp would look like this year — but you've come through with nine teams ready for some social netball fun!

🚧 **A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR…**

We'll be running Senior Mixed games across **two time slots — 6:30pm and 7:30pm**.

We know the split times might take a little getting used to, but this arrangement will help us **share umpiring and scoring duties more fairly, keep games running smoothly, and make the most of our available facilities.** 💪

🏐 **A QUICK HEADS-UP ABOUT DUTY**

We're asking all teams to be prepared to supply **one umpire and one scorekeeper** for the time slot opposite their own game.

We have a small pool of association umpires available to help, but availability is limited. If your team needs a paid umpire, please arrange this through our Umpire Convenor.

⭐ **FAIR POINTS, GOOD VIBES!**

With nine teams, byes are unavoidable, so we'll be using **averaged match points plus bonus points**, with byes treated neutrally.

And remember — this comp isn't just about winning! There are bonus points for completing duty, helping out and getting involved in our themed rounds. 🎉

📅 **WEEK 1 – WEDNESDAY 14 OCTOBER**

👧 Juniors – 5:30pm
🏐 Seniors – 6:30pm & 7:30pm

👀 Check the draw for your game time, court and bye.
Team organisers, please contact Corrie for forfeits via SMS/Messenger.

🏷️ Need playing tags? Sets are available for a **$60 refundable deposit** for the season.

A massive thank you to everyone for being flexible and helping us make this happen. We're working with what we've got so everyone can keep playing the game we love!

**Same community, better courts ahead!** 💙💛
