Berwick Netball Club is inviting existing and interested players back to pre-season training, following the easing of the Covid restrictions which saw a premature end to this year’s season.
Senior players have committed to improving their game fitness and team morale every Thursday from 6.30pm and Saturday from 8am, following Victoria’s move into Stage 3 restrictions, which allows outdoor training of non-contact community sport.
“We’re overjoyed to welcome players back to Berwick Netball Club” said club president, Steve Santamaria.
“We’ve missed watching what was shaping up to be a strong season for the club, as well as the social aspect of the sport, which is valued by our coaches and players.”
The club is also excited to announce that trials for the AFL Outer East’s junior and senior 2021 competition will be taking place in early December.
Senior division trials for those born in, and prior to, 2003 will be held on Thursday, 3 December from 6-8.30pm and Saturday, 5 December from 8.30 to 10.30am.
Junior trials are set to take place on Tuesday, 8 December for the 13 and under, 15 and under, and 17 and under squads. The 13 and under trials will run from 4.15-5.45pm, 15 and under from 5.15-7pm, and 17 and under from 6.30-8pm.
Berwick Netball Club is taking every precaution to ensure that pre-season training and trials are safe for players, coaches and officials.
“We’ve put many measures in place to keep everybody safe,” said Santamaria.
“Players, coaches and officials are encouraged to physically distance and maintain personal hygiene, using provided sanitising stations.
“We ask that all visitors sign in and out when training with us so that we are able to contact trace if necessary.”
