TINGARA NETBALL CLUB NEWSLETTER – 7 JULY 2015

Hi All Tingara Members We are now nearing the half way mark of the season - the 2 July school holiday byes – and we hope all players and their families have enjoyed the season to date. Tingara teams continue to perform creditably across all grades. A special mention of our JC1, JC2, JC3, JD7 and JG2 teams, who are currently on top of their respective ladders. Player and Umpire Achievements

Tingara’s Zoe Fisher, Mellery King and Coach Karen Turnbull enjoy their Coastals Reserves grand final win

Tingara is very proud to report a huge number of achievements by our players and umpires over the last month. Firstly, a big congratulations to Teya Saville for making it to the State Schoolgirls U12 team and for Carinna Schabort for being selected as a train on. A great effort from our two young players!  

Congratulations also to Elly Henley, Mia Hughes, Zoe Gillard, Sarah Burton, Teya Saville and Ruby Wallace, who won their respective “Player of the Year” Awards for their FNA representative teams – again a terrific result.  

Congratulations also to the following Tingara players on their selection into the Coastals Develop a Diamond Regional Netball Academy: Joely Patterson, Claire Pickerill, Kate Pickerill, Jessica Burton, Jizelle Kenworthy Groen, Elysia Henley and Georgia O'Driscoll  

Congratulations also to Amy Rae, Natasha Hayne, Sally Foster, Mia Dal Molin, Cannesyah Arvi, Ashwina Arvi, Parveen Kaur and Afarin Hosseini for completing the Junior Umpire Development Program. We have again welcomed many new umpires this year to our Club, and thank our experienced umpires for training them. Also a big congratulations to Amy Rae and Hannah Thomas for attaining their C grade umpiring accreditation badges. Another great effort!  

The recent grand finals for the State Netball League involved a large number of Tingara people. Claire and Kate Pickerill were members of the Coastals 18s team that narrowly lost to Rangers. Zoe Fisher and Mellery King played for Coastals Reserves in their close win over Demons. The Reserves team was undefeated during the season and coached by Tingara's own Karen Turnbull. Karen's JC1 Tingara team presented the premiership medallions to the winning Coastals Reserves team members (and they looked great!). There were also a large number of Tingara players, parents and supporters at both games. Congratulations to all! Congratulations also to Claire Pickerill for winning the “Most Improved” award for the 18s team at the recent Coastals windup.  

Club Spirit A BIG thank you to all the players who have been filling in for teams that have been short over the school holidays. A lovely example was our SB4 team, which was left with just 2 players last weekend. The Tingara Committee (and other mature supporters...) decided to take matters into their own hands and volunteered to play under the FNA "voucher" system. What a great effort! Although the revamped SB4 team was beaten, spirits were high and a moral victory was claimed. A terrific effort ladies!! The players are pictured (left to right): Gill Ryan, Michele Burton, Maddy Gorman, Chloe Goulios, Di McGrath, Sue Curtis, Susi Dennis, Meredith Thorn and Keryn Rae  

The Tingara Committee would like to remind all its players and their families of the need to treat our netball coaches with the utmost respect. Our wonderful coaches are all volunteers and try their best at all times. Please respect their energy, their commitment and their ideas and training methods – they are the coaches and they must be treated with appropriate courtesy and consideration  

The Tingara Grading Committee is seeking volunteers to assist next season’s preliminary grading by observing the players in matchplay during the last round of games in August. If anyone is interested in assisting in this regard, again contact one of our Grading Co-ordinators (please refer to the Club website for contact details).

We would like to remind everyone to please help put the netballs away after training. This will help save our Club money to pay for fun stuff like courses, umpires, equipment and awesome wind ups - we don't want to waste it buying replacement netballs!  

A large number of Tingara senior players enjoyed a Sundowner at the Tradewinds Hotel in East Fremantle on 13 June, after excellent performances on the courts!

• What I like about Tingara: My family has been involved with Tingara for over 20 years, so I suppose I take the Club for granted… But it’s the Club members that make Tingara a great place to play netball – my fantastic teammates, the great coaches and all of the friendly and enthusiastic supporters.

• Goals for 2015: I played in the winning Reserves Coastals premiership team (with Zoe Fisher) last month, and that was a big goal for this year. Of course, I would love to help the Tingara SA2 team win the Grand Final and get promoted to SA1 next year!
