With Premier & Premier Grading kicking off this week we thought it was important to give our Te Awamutu Netball Community a friendly reminder:

- For Premier Grade your umpires are provided for grading

- For Premier Reserve Grade - your umpires you have named when entering your team in sporty are expected to umpire all of your games for grading, if they are unavailable it is up to you to find a replacement for the game/night.

- Coaches, managers and reserve players must be on the bench side sidelines as shown in the picture below, we ask that teams stay around the transverse line, so that our umpires and scorers have some room. We know you love to support your teams but we ask that coaches and managers and spectators do not walk up and down the sideline

- Each team should should supply a scorer who should stand together on bench side of the court in the centre third.

- Spectators - please stay outside the blue lines to give the umpires space to get around the court without interruption.

- Please no scooters, skateboards or bikes at our courts on game days - these are a risk to both users and everyone within the area.

- If you notice concerning behaviour, please come up to the control room at the time, and ask for a committee member to come down and observe (it's great if you can let us know what for) and intervene if it is deemed necessary to do so.

- Please park considerately (allow yourself enough time to find a suitable carpark):

- Please leave our committee carpark for our committee members

- Please respect our neighbours and leave room so that they can get in and out of their driveways safely, vehicles may be towed if required.

- and most importantly please treat everyone with kindness we have a lot of amazing volunteers (administrators, coaches, managers, umpires, bench officials) who are involved in the great game that is netball - without them it wouldn't be possible.
