All Teams will be announced at the West Leagues Netball Courts this year. This will allow all players to be advised what team they are in and to meet their coach and discuss training days etc. We ask that all Players and Parents attend on their designated day which is listed below.
This will ensure that all players and parents will be fully informed at the earliest time and all at once – this should reduce the number of individual phone calls enquiring after teams etc that we have had in the past.
