2016 SURVEY RESULTS:
Dear Charlestown Netball Association Members, Parents and Supporters,
In September you were all invited to participate in a survey about your experience at Charlestown Netball Association. We had a large number of responses, and would like to thank those who were able to complete it.
From the results of this survey, we are developing a three year strategic plan, to help us continue to meet your needs and expectations. We hope to have this completed by January 2017 and will share more information with you on this after completion.
We have attached a summary of the results from the survey. Click here to have a look at them, and if you have any questions or concerns, please contact me, President Di Pascoe, or any member of our executive team who would be more than willing to discuss your feedback.
We look forward to seeing you all in the New Year for an exciting year of Netball.
Regards
Sarah Winn
Regional Coordinator - Hunter and Northern Inland (02)4902 8876 swinn@netballnsw.com

NSW State Age Championships:
29th June 2016.
Message to our Junior Representative teams and Coaching Staff.
The time is here.
State Age Championships are only a few days away, training is nearly over, so Charlestown Netball would like to wish every team the very best of luck and good weather for the coming weekend of Netball.
To our Coaching Staff:
Thank you for all your dedicated time in training our players, teaching them skills which have helped them reach their full potential as a player.
We know that there would be many times especially cold nights when you ask yourselves "Why am I doing this" then finally after all this time you can see what you have taught these players and then you have your answer. Well done to you all, and good luck at State Age.
To our Players:
Well, girls you are nearly there, all the training in heat, cold and even wet weather and we know that many times you would want to say "I don't want to go to training" but you did and why did you, because you have reached the State Age Championships - the 3 days of netball that you have trained so hard for all this time.
Be proud of yourselves for listening and learning from your coaches and take that pride with you to the games.
I say this to every player from Charlestown
Be Proud
Be Respectful to all
Play Hard but Play Fair
Play as a Team Player
Give 100% of yourself on and off the court
Be a Team of Champions
Not just a Champion Player
Support each other at all times
Charlestown is proud of each and every one of you
We wish every team Good Luck
To our Umpires:
Thank you and enjoy the experience of umpiring the best teams from each Association.
Cheers
