💙Check in. Speak Up. Support each other.

Mental health is just as important as physical health and in our community, we all have a role to play.

🏐 Sport is more than what happens on court. It’s about connection, belonging, resilience and looking out for one another.

Don’t be afraid to start the conversation.
➡️ Ask how someone is going.
➡️ Listen without judgement.
➡️ Let them know they’re not alone.
And know where to point them for support.

Because looking after our people matters - on and off the court.

Wet Weather Reminder
Rain is forecast so it's a good time to remind everyone of our Adverse Weather Policy:

https://menanetball.com.au/.../AdverseWeatherPolicyNov202...

Key Points to Note:
All teams must report to the courts at their scheduled game time.

Decisions will be made timeslot by timeslot by the Competition Coordinators and Umpires Convenor.

We aim to play as many games as possible. If needed, games may be shortened to half-games to allow indoor play.

Games already started outdoors will not be moved inside.

Our preference is always to play full games as scheduled, so we may delay a decision if there’s a chance to do so.

Please dress warmly, bring your raincoats, umbrellas and come prepared for all weather conditions.
