Inala South West Aces

| GRAND FINAL WEEK |

Exciting week for our club with both our teams making Grand finals.

As we get closer we wanted to remind our families and friends of some ways we can be the best supporters for our young people and also the oppositions young people.

* Cheer positively for everyone
* Leave the coaching to the coach – avoid giving instructions from the sideline.
* Praise effort just as much as performance
* Keep it fun – children should enjoy playing netball
* Respect the opposition – They are young people as well
* Respect umpires and officials – Any issues talk to a club official, and we will follow up with you or for you
* No sideline criticism of either team– avoid comments about missed passes, shots, turnovers or mistakes from us or the other team.
* Allow mistakes – mistakes are how young players learn and develop.
* Adults, manage your emotions – your child notices how you react to wins, losses and mistakes.

Most importantly remember who the sport is for – the child, not the parent.

We can only control our own behaviour and as a club we are very clear and firm on these standards for our club and families.

Let's show our young people and community our best side no matter if we win, loose or draw this weekend.

💙 OUR CLUB MESSAGE FOR THIS FINALS:

We want our sideline to be a place where every child feels encouraged, respected and proud to play.

Inala Aces

Many cultures. One club.

Two teams. One positive sideline.

Thank you to everyone and cant wait to see you support our crew this Saturday.

STATE AGE TRIALS

Any Ace crew interested or have questions ?

Please have a chat to us this week at training , we can try and support with fund raising and answer any questions you have .

This year the comp will be held in Toowoomba so it’s a lot more manageable for families and players.

Would be great to see some Aces girls representing and having a go at this next level.

Don’t let the cost put you off , we will 💯 help support your goals of playing and help raise money if you’re serious and committed to participating.

| NEW COURT |

A big thank you to the local council for the re surfaced courts .

We held our first training this afternoon on the new surface.

Thanks to for making this a priority for our community and our club to benefit from.

It makes a real difference for our club to have a training base that now meets standards for our teams.

We can’t wait to finish our season off strong with 2 grand finals for our teams.

| MINI ACES NETBALL PROGRAM |

As part of our plan to have a self funded club so we don’t rely solely on fees and sponsorship we are in the process of launching our “ Mini Aces “ program .

What is Mini Aces?

Mini Aces will be an affordable program run in school terms after hours for primary school students who might want to try netball in a more affordable and low stress environment.

It will also give our older Aces players an avenue to use their skills and qualification from the netball Academy to gain work in the sports arena for our talented local netballers.

Stay tuned for details as we move towards launching a trial program in term 4 before a launch in term 1 - 2027.

Mini Aces hope to build on future little netballers skills, communication and sense of connection all while having fun and learning the basics of netball.

Thank you for supporting the next chapter of our club.

| END OF SEASON |

Know a business or can you spare a few $$ ?

Inala Aces would great apprecite any support as we come to the end of the season .

Due to our club model we use all funds to subsidize family costs.

This means we finish every season at $0.00 in our bank 🏦

Any support is greatly appreciated to help us end the year with a small celebration for our teams.

We are also in the process of developing a model we hope can help make the club more sustainable and affordable for families while also potentially offering some employment for our players.

We can’t wait to share with you when the season ends.

Thanks to everyone who helped as last year , this year and counties to support in anyway they can .

| ACES 1 GRAND FINAL |

Another huge congrats to our Div 1 - 16/18 girls who finished the season 1st with only 1 loss all season and will now make it straight to the Grand Final.

We get the week off then the big game , it will be a tough game with some great teams battling it out this coming week so we will need to be ready and prepared which I’m sure you will be.

Once again it’s honestly been so awesome watching you play week in and out, the main reason is you’re all so happy to be playing with each other and that shows on the court through your performance , focus on your self , have fun and enjoy these moments ❤️

No matter the result we are very proud of these girls and let’s hopfully send off the older girls from this age division and into senior age brackets as winners 🙏🏼

Also a huge thanks to our coach and umpire who helped make this season possible !

COURTS COMPLETE !

A huge thanks to local council for the works to upgrade the courts at Freeman road.

This upgrade will provide safer courts for us and also shows an investment and commitment to girls sport in our area !

We are really excited to get training underway for our final round and finals on the new surface.

We are really sorry but the courts are not finished and due to our insurance we are not covered if we train at another venue.

We have to call off training today
