To KNA Executive, Community, Clubs, Umpires, Representative, Metro and NSU players,
On behalf of the KNA AllStars players and coaches I want to thank you all profusely for your continued support of the All Abilities netball program this year. Whether it be helping with registrations, supporting and giving the go ahead at an Executive level, finding players available for the weekly invitational game on court 21, umpiring the mainstream game and carnivals or being one of the absolute gems who plays against the AllStars in the B4 Division we are so grateful to you for your support.
The AllStars LOVE to play in the B4 mainstream competition. I cannot emphasise just how much they LOVE IT!!!! They love the feeling of playing hard for the win each week and the improvement and sense of achievement that comes with that. Each week when I call out the names of the players to play there are literally cheers of joy from the players whose turn it is. The B4 players have embraced the AllStars showing true kindness, empathy and sportsmanship as they creatively enable the AllStars to play competitively. The inclusion of the AllStars in the mainstream competition is testament to the true commitment to inclusion of the KNA community.
To all of the players from every club, rep, Metro and NSU who played against the AllStars on court 21 thank you for your flexibility and going with the flow. Thanks for joining in the fitness and ball skills part of the session. The AllStars truly look up to you and learn so much by playing with and against you.
2024 was a tough season with respect to the weather so to all those who were ready to play against the AllStars only to have the game cancelled because of wet weather thank you for your understanding.
Thank you to the umpires who are so flexible with their interpretation of the rules and so encouraging of the AllStars. Your patience and preparedness to explain the rules are much appreciated.
The AllStars program is a really wonderful part of the KNA offering to the local community but it is only possible with all of your support. So again – THANK YOU!!
