Dear Allstars families,

On behalf of the executive committee I would like to welcome you to the Allstars Netball Club for the 2014 season. We are looking forward to working with you and your family to create a fabulous year of fun, family and fitness.

In 2013 we provided 150 junior netball players with a fun and safe environment to learn and play netball, meet new friends, form closer bonds with old friends, and improve skills. Our Net Set GO kids enjoyed a great kick start to their development as netball players, our Moddies continued to grow and some moved onto the hard courts at Pinklands, and a great number of our teams in the under 11’s divisions reached the finals at the RNA.

Throughout the year we keep in touch via emails and facebook, so please make sure you update us with any changes to your accounts. We also send out newsletters to keep you informed for upcoming events, our fundraising target and player successes. Most notices are posted on the wall at the clubhouse for a light read when you are there for training!

During the 2014 season we will be encouraging our older players to get involved with training as coaches or umpires, to help develop their skills and with fundraising events and activities. Allstars is a family club, run on the dedicated work and willing hands of many volunteers. Parents will be asked to help support our club by lending a hand with the allocated “Duty Days” at the Redlands Netball Club twice a year.

RNA will also assign each club a BBQ day, which is our major fundraiser for the year. We ask each family to provide a small amount of their time for each event.

As with most clubs across Redlands, the money we receive from the registration fees (a proportion of which goes towards the Redlands Netball Association) and uniforms nicely covers the costs running of the clubhouse and insurances etc.

In 2014 we will be raising extra funds to resurface our courts at Wellington Point. This will largely be achieved through applications for grants, however a large percentage will need to be raised by the club through fun days, activities and events. Stay tuned for details.

Games and fixtures will be scheduled by Redlands Netball Association, which can be found at

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and thank you for choosing our Allstars family!

Kind regards

Elise Parups

The RNA is responsible for determining the draw subsequent to the RNA grading days, and updated on the RNA website. Games are not usually scheduled on school holidays (state school), however please be aware that the RNA may schedule games at these times.

Due to some frequent bad weather over the past few summers, Allstars Netball Inc is negotiating an undercover Wet Weather plan for training. Details will be forwarded as required. You must attend the training sessions unless contacted by your coach.

RNA will notify the club on Saturdays for wet weather cancellation.

Hard court games are generally only cancelled in EXTREME weather conditions.

Grass courts are cancelled more frequently due to soggy conditions.

You are requested to come to the courts regardless of the conditions, unless you are contacted by your coach. RNA sometimes makes a last minute decision, and you may be required to play. RNA may charge a cancellation fee of $150 if a team forfeits without due notice (48 hours).

Wet weather information will be posted on the website and social media as soon as possible. Please do not contact coaches or the club, wait to be contacted or if not, attend the courts and be ready to play.

PLEASE CHECK THE ALLSTARS FACEBOOK PAGE and WEBSITE FOR DETAILS.

All clubs with the RNA are required to assist the association to run the courts and games on competition days throughout the year. Each club is usually allocated at least 2 days to set up and pack up the courts, staff the canteen and control room and maintain the toilets.

Allstars requires ALL families to assist on allocated days. As a large club, we are fortunate to have a fair and equal share of the work divided amongst many families. This means we have less time each to commit to the duty days if every one does their bit.

DUTY DAYS 2014:

Sat 29 March

Saturday 21 June

In addition to “Duty Days we are also allocated a BBQ/Fundraising day. This provides our club with a once a year opportunity to raise funds at the courts. We often conduct raffles, bake goods or sell products to raise funds. ALL families are asked to contribute and help on this day. ALL the money raised goes straight to our club to benefit the development of our club and your daughters.

BBQ Saturday 3 August

The executive will provide the team manager with the times and roles for the allocated times. It is the team’s responsibility to ensure that each activity is fully staffed with helpers for their time slot. The team Manager will send a list of volunteers for these duty days with contact numbers to the executive prior to the duty day.

Each team’s time slot will be allocated either just prior, just after or for a short time during their daughter’s game. This ensures that families are at the courts for their allotted duty time.

Thank you for your assistance.
