Hi all
does anyone fancy getting a netball team together in Tauranga area for players who haven't played for a while ( like years ) or know if there is one already in place ??? nothing serious just a bit of fun & fitness then drinkies after ??

Am Loolah

I'd love to play - it was something I promised myself I'd do when we moved here - but haven't. Not sure how I'll manage with glass of wine in one hand and fag in the other - but God loves a trier.

They do Social Netball at Mount Action Centre, it used to be on a Thursday evening in the Winter. But this is mixed, men and women, and I'm not even sure you can play as a team?

They also did morning women's netball, but that won't suit most people with work.

Possibly the QEII in Tauranga do some too? Yes they do INFO here.

Hopefully some more will come along. Although I have possibly 2 friends locally that I know have said before they want to play, but they're not on BE.

Happy New Year Fairy Lady !
I will do more research & hopefully by then we will have more players. it doesn't have to all be BE just thought this would be a good start & will await being unindated so we can have 2 teams & will need 2 umpires !!!!!
I will also check rules but am sure that having a fag & wineglass is OK so long as glass is plastic !

Hi I will play. I used to be in a team in yorkshire about 15 years ago. I live in the Mount. I am good friends with Am Loolah so a few of us could travel together depending where it is.

I'm not in Tauranga, but could easily travel & I reckon it sounds like fun.
Haven't played for more years than I care to remember, but if it's all in the spirit of playing & having fun rather than winning (I might not manage to catch the ball every time , & I'm volunteering for defence rather than goal shooting) then count me in

Oh okay, count me in too. I was a Netball Captain back in 1975
I'm not sure how I will fit it in with my shifts hence my initial hesitation in coming forward, but will give it a go.
I'm in Matata.....so not too far to travel

Julie I will PM you x

Ohhh I am gettng more excited - we now nearly have a full team - yah hee. Not sure about the photo's & short skirts ( Geelong gent)
Will keep you all posted. I will have a little more time to sort out once my sister goes back to UK

Am Loolah

Of course we''ll definately need a "planning" session over a few wines ... juts before the serious training gets under way!

The Jezzers

Great idea.
Also may be able to talk Vicky into coming. As she is not always online to catch up I will let her know about the netball team. Another one to add to the team.

Hello Team
I have researched and the leagues all start in Feb. They are either at Mount ACtion Centre or Queen Elizabeth Youth Centre and are on Tues or Thurs

I am not sure we are ready to register for these at the moment without a bit of practice, sooooo my idea is to go & watch a few matches ( so we can see our competition ) & discuss team tactics over a

We may then be ready to join a league later ?

As most of us are on BBQ / Picnic we could sort out from there & for those who aren't I will let you know

Am Loolah

Agreed. We can spend the first few weeks of the season training ...

Great to meet you today.

Am Loolah

Seems we can hire a court at Aquinas in Tauranga one evening to have a practise if anyone is up for it?
