Dear St John’s Families,


Welcome to the 2025 Autumn/Winter season of netball. We have had a change to our netball seasons this year with the Autumn/Winter season commencing on Saturday 15th February through to Saturday 28th June (Grand Final Day).


For those of you that are unaware, we have taken over from Rae McCool as the coaching coordinators. As you can appreciate these are big shoes to fill, however we are both looking forward to the challenge. Rae will still be around the courts assisting with coaching and mentoring. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Rae for her tireless commitment she has given as St Johns coaching coordinator. We have all benefitted from Rae’s vast netball knowledge during our time at St Johns.


Training kicks off this Friday 31st January at Riverside from 4.30pm. The teams have been uploaded to the Team Lists folder on Stack Team App. The team lists include training court and time. Generally teams train on a Friday night. The Net, Set & Go, U11s and U13s train from 4.30 to 5.30pm and the U15s, U17s & Opens train from 5.30 to 6.30pm. Please let us know if you have any specific requests for your team (SJNC.coaching@gmail.com).


We are still looking for players in all age groups. If you know of someone who is interested in playing, please get them to contact us mailto:SJNC.coaching@gmail.com


We have had a few coaches leave and we thank them for their time. We also thank our existing and brand new coaches joining St Johns. We expect all coaches to be treated with respect. Please remember a number of our coaches are junior coaches so help us support them by being positive and encouraging.


St Johns communicates through Stack Team App and NetballConnect. Please ensure you download both apps (refer below for further information on how to access these apps). Information for uniform orders can also be found below.  Please note hoodie orders close on Sunday 16th February. All volunteers must have a Working With Children Check, please refer to below to send through documentation.


We will be around the courts on Fridays and game days so please come and see us if you have any queries or issues or just to say hello. Alternatively email us at sjnc.coaching@gmail.com .


We look forward to seeing you down at the courts!


Thanks and Kind Regards
