We’re now allowed 10 to a court with the Pilot Scheme for Team Sports Resumption under Vaccinated Differentiated SMMs (VDS)! Section Committee Members have worked hard alongside the Sports Department to attain the honor of being the first sports team to pilot the program in the SCC. The Section has not had a full court training since the pandemic started and we’re excited to pick up from where we left off in 2020! On a serious note, the AGM for the Netball Committee took place in mid-January in now a new normal mode of meetings: Zoom.
The Section has seen a reduction in Juniors as families relocate and move back home due to the pandemic. However, we are currently in discussions for the launch of the Junior Netball Academy mid Q2 of 2022. With the support of the Club and other sporting Sections, the Academy aims to redevelop and rebuild our pipeline of strong junior players. Keen to learn Netball? Join us for a run about on Wednesday evenings 7-9pm . Contact the section at sccnetball@gmail.com for more information and to sign up!
Genevieve Guiney continues to lead the Section as Club Captain and Kyesha Abdullah remains as Secretary in the upcoming year. Having served the maximum term of three years as Convener, Nanthini Viknesh steps down for Ranjini Visvalingam. Nan now commits to the Section as the Treasurer. Other Committee Members who have newly been elected into the committee are: Anushree Prasad as JSM Rep, Annamei Forbes as Social Rep, and Audi Nuraini co-opted into managing Tours & Fixtures. Thank you to the outgoing committee for their commitment to the Section. Congratulations to the incoming Committee! With restrictions hopefully easing, we have some social events lined up for everyone to get to know each other better off court with dress-up nights, curry nights, casual Stump catch-ups and activities to re-acquaint the Section Members both old and new, social and playing. With the ‘Pilot Scheme for Team Sports Resumption under Vaccinated Differentiated SMMs (VDS)’ kicking off, it does seem like the netball-related calendar is going to start filling up soon! Discussions are still ongoing, but the Section is looking to host an internal league and participate in friendly games in 2022 under this scheme.
