🎄✨  What an Amazing Christmas Tournament! ✨🎄

We had the best day ever on Sunday at our Christmas Tournament! A huge thank you to Becky for organising everything so brilliantly, and an even bigger thank you to everyone who helped out. You’re all ⭐ superstars ⭐.

One of the best things about this tournament is that our older juniors run the whole event! U13s & U14s stepped up as Team Managers, U15s became our official umpires 👩‍⚖️🧑‍⚖️ They warmed up their teams, sorted player rotations, cheered from the sidelines, and some even jumped onto the court when needed! Talk about leadership! 🙌

Even though the weather was a bit soggy ☔, the girls played with huge smiles, massive energy, and brilliant team spirit. And the parents? Wow! Your cheering from the sidelines made the day even better! 💙

🏅  U8/U9 Champions 🥇 Team A4 Players: Caitlin, Daisy, Lara, Amelia & Connie.  Team Captains: Ava L & Rebecca L

Amazing teamwork, amazing smiles — amazing champions! 🌟

🏆  U10/U11 Champions🥇 Team B4 Players: Chloe, Florence, Emma, Carmel, Imogen, Anaiya & Lilly. Team Captains: Annie S & Jess D

Fast, focused, and fabulous on court! ⚡

🎯 Shooting Competition Winner 🏹 Harriet R — a super-sharp shooter with incredible accuracy.

For anyone going to the Copperbox this Saturday (13th December) to watch the England v Jamaica game, you’ll be pleased to know that our very own

Evie Sherwin will be playing for Scotland U21s against England U19s in the curtain raiser for the senior match, which starts at 12pm.

If you can get there early to show your support for her, please do (match is included in the main ticket price). 

For those who haven’t got tickets and are interested, there are still some available I believe. 

We’re super proud of Evie for flying the AAS flag on the international stage!

🏅 Umpiring Mentoring Programme – Therfield. Great news! The mentoring programme is up and running with nearly 30 umpires working towards:
their IO badge or progression to C Grade. 👏 Congratulations to our first C Grade pass, signed off last week! IO tests are being organised for early next term.

If you have umpires who’d like to join the programme, please ask them to contact their coaches.

⚠️ League Rules & Matchday Behaviour

This term, the committee has unfortunately dealt with unacceptable behaviour from some coaches and spectators towards umpires.

🧑‍⚖️ Umpires are essential – matches cannot happen without them.

All clubs must follow the England Netball Code of Conduct at all times.

Written warnings have already been issued where necessary, and umpires have been reminded of game management procedures.

Club Responsibilities. Clubs are responsible for: Players on court; Spectators off court; Anyone representing their club at the venue
Each team should have a suitable adult (ideally a Level 2 coach) supervising both players and spectators to prevent issues escalating.

🐕 Dogs at League Venues

A reminder that dogs are not permitted at any league venue, including indoor areas. If a spectator arrives with a dog, it is the club’s responsibility to ensure they leave immediately. This should not be left for committee members to manage.

🚨 Disciplinary Process (If Rules Are Ignored). While we hope never to use it, the following process is now in place:

1️⃣ First incident – Written warning to the club

2️⃣ Second incident (same venue) – 10-point league deduction

3️⃣ Third incident (same venue) – All teams removed from that venue with immediate effect and barred the following season

🎄 Finally… We wish everyone a wonderful Christmas break and a happy, healthy New Year.

We can’t wait to see more brilliant netball from our talented and enthusiastic young players in 2025! 💜🏐
