Butterflies Teams & Training Times for 2011 Butterflies Teams will have some players leave this year due to other commitments and we also have new players registering. Once all regos are in after this Saturday the committee will sit down to work out the teams we have for the different age groups and accommodate you all accordingly. It may mean we have to run a trial selection day but we will know more once all the Regos are in. Regarding Training Times for all teams, this will be sorted out in the next few coming weeks, when we have received all rego forms and organised team management. We do realise you all want to get your diaries in order but we need to work out what is best for both coaches and players 1st, As you can imagine it is difficult to organise before you know the teams - so we thankyou for your patience.

Butterflies Newsletter No. 1 … pg 4 Butterflies UNIFORM update. This year some of our girls have grown so much in the break that they will require new uniforms. As the competition is starting in less than 8 weeks we need to act on this quickly. We will be ordering new uniforms for those needing them this Monday 14th and the uniforms will need to be paid for up front as the supplier will not take orders unless they are paid for. Sizing Examples : 3XS = L – 60cm W = 26cm 2XS = L = 65cm W = 30cm XS = L = 67cm W = 30cm S = L = 70cm W = 32cm M = L = 72cm W = 35cm L = ? XL = ?
L = Shoulder to Bottom of Dress W= Width of waist
(upper thigh)
The size examples given on left are taken from samples I have at home, just to give you an idea. For those of you who know my girls Grace = 3xs Elli & Rosie = S . Remembering the girls like to wear them tight. Hope this helps.
If your still having having trouble with sizing please email us for help. RECYCLING OF OLD UNIFORMS. Yes We do have a Uniform Recycling System for your old uniform – if your uniform is less than 3 years old and is still in good shape (eg the Velcro is still intact and the dress hasn’t lost it elasticity) we will try and find a new owner within our club for you. Steps to take: * Please pin an envelope to the dress with your name on it and pop it into Anne @ 6 Powell Street Coogee and we will do our best to sell it for you. When and if we find a buyer we will notify you via email and we can exchange your dress for cash. Any questions email us. butterfliesnetball@gmail.com
BUTTERFLIES STOCK Attention all 2010 MANAGERS… Thank you, We have received some Team stock back at the end of last year, but if you have any balls, bibs, first aid kits and folders etc can you please notify us, we need to do a count of all stock we have before beginning of the season. Thankyou.
Butterflies Newsletter No. 1 … pg 5 VOLUNTEERS.

We have already had quite a number of parents offering to help this season, thankyou for that. The beginning of every season brings a lot of setting up with phone calls, emails and admin, in the next coming weeks before the season kicks off we will be looking for Team Umpires, Coaches, Managers and Helpers for other various jobs eg Shop Duty and RNA monthly meetings. If you can help in any way please feel free to email on butterfliesnetball@gmail.com
