NETBALL IS STILL ON! ☔️🌧️🌈
We often get questions in Twilight when there is rain about game cancellations.

Please also remember there is a $50 forfeit fee that applies for any forfeits that occur with less than 24 hours notice from your game time.

Please find below the link to the Netball Victoria weather guidelines which will assist you to know what we are following when making these decisions.

During the summer months, Netball Victoria commonly receives requests from affiliates looking for guidance on queries such as: • Should our training be modified or cancelled? • At what point do we modify or cancel games? • When is it safe to play netball or be physically active in the heat? To...

TNA is excited to welcome back Senior Netball to our Courts starting tonight!

After almost 30 years missing from TNA senior ladies returns and TNA is facilitating our first senior mixed competition.

This is super exciting and all due to the completion of our lighting project which was supported by Latrobe City Council, Netball Victoria, Sport and Recreation Victoria and the Victorian Government.

We are excited to watch this space grow!

Good luck to our teams tonight.

PLAYER REGISTRATIONS –
ATTENTION TEAM DELEGATES!

Please DO NOT copy the registration link sent by TNA to send it directly to your players. That link is for TEAM level registration only.

There is an important process to follow so your players are correctly linked to your team in Netball Connect.

🔹 STEP 1 – REGISTER YOUR TEAM
Team Delegates ONLY use the link provided by TNA in the email to register your TEAM.

🔹 STEP 2 – ADD YOUR PLAYERS
Once your team is registered, the Team Delegate adds the players to the team (this can also be done during the initial team registration process)

When you submit your player list on Netball Connect, each player will receive a team-specific invitation to register.

This process ensures your players are correctly connected to your team and will appear on the weekly score sheets. ✅

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
🔹 Delegates can check their own team – You can see who has registered and follow up any players before Round 1.
No need to contact TNA — the information is right there in the app!

🔹 Players can arrive for Round 1 ready to play – Get the boring admin sorted early so players know their registration is correct and they can take the court without any issues.

🔹 Incorrect registrations create problems – If players register using the wrong link, they may not be correctly registered to a team and could risk being unable to take the court.

🔹 It creates a LOT of extra admin for TNA – Each week we can spend hours trying to identify incorrectly registered players and work out which team they actually belong to, then manually linking them in the system.

👉 Please follow the detailed instructions in the email carefully and complete the registration process in the correct order.

Team → Add Players → Players receive team invitation → Players register ✅

Thanks for helping us start the Twilight competition smoothly! 🌙🏐

🏐 GRADING COMPLAINTS — BEFORE YOU HIT SEND…

❓ Have you considered everything that goes into the grading puzzle before flicking through a complaint?

We completely understand that families and teams have individual circumstances and preferences. But before assuming a decision was made without consideration, here’s a little insight into what the committee is trying to balance:

🔹 80+ teams
🔹 750+ players
🔹 39 games
🔹 10 courts per timeslot
🔹 82 umpire allocations
🔹 21 umpires required per timeslot
🔹 Around 75% of umpires also play
🔹 Time restrictions due to lighting and local housing
🔹 Major team changes since winter - same team name doesn’t necessarily mean same players
🔹 New teams and new combinations — we have reviewed and analysed every team list
🔹 A small committee giving up an entire night to make the competition work for ALL players, around their own work and family commitments.

And with all of that to juggle, the reality is:

🔹 Someone will have to play at 4.30pm or 7.45pm
🔹 Someone will have to play around dinner time.
🔹 Someone will clash with another sport or commitment.
🔹 Someone won’t be happy with the grade they’re placed in.
🔹 Someone will have both their children playing at the same time — even our President! 😅
🔹 Some teams won’t get their preferred timeslot.

…and the list goes on.

If we could make it perfect for all 750+ players, we absolutely would. Trust us — we spend hours trying.

Every decision is made by people who:

🔹 Have had children of different ages — we understand meal times, homework and bedtime.
🔹 Have umpired these players.
🔹 Have coached.
🔹 Work full-time.
🔹 Parent.
🔹 Volunteer.
🔹 Have children with multiple commitments.
🔹 Have 5+ years of grading experience on the committee.
🔹 Regularly sacrifice our own needs to help make the competition work.

We don’t make decisions to upset people. We make them with the whole competition in mind — not just one player, one team or one age group.

🏐 No committee = no competition.
🏐 No umpires = no competition.

Questions are always welcome. We’re happy to explain the process and listen to genuine concerns.

But please remember there are real people behind the emails, grading, draws and decisions — people who are giving their time because they care about the competition and the kids playing in it.

Think before you hit send.
Ask questions. Be respectful. Be kind. ❤️🏐
