Dear Netballer,
England Netball is delighted to launch a brand new competition specifically for 16-19 year olds, called the 16-19 Netball Open.

Entries are currently open for this exciting new 2 day competition and for further details about the competition and to enter a team, please visit http://www.englandnetball.co.uk/competitions/2014-15/16-19-netball-open_101

Below is some key information about the competition:

• An exciting new tournament has been added to the netball calendar this summer as England Netball host our inaugural 16-19 Netball Open.
• This is a competition, specifically for 16-19 year olds which will take place over two days (accommodation is not provided within the entry fee) and is open to any affiliated member of England Netball.
• You can play within your existing Club or even form a team specifically for this event (please note all individuals will need to be affiliated members but not necessarily to the same club). Groups of individuals from the same affiliated Schools*, Colleges* and Universities* can also enter a team.
• The playing schedule will be determined once entries close, but it is likely to be split into a cup and plate competition based on ability. The competition will be played outdoors.
• This year the tournament takes place at the Redbridge Sports Centre in Essex over the weekend of the 4^th and 5^th of July. Entry is now open to enter a team and closes on Friday 5^th June.

We just wanted to let everyone know how well Ceri and her Pips team are doing a great job in representing Applemore Netball Club. After a recent match we were sent this message from one of the oppositions player…

“We played your Pips team at the sports centre last night. What a talented, gracious bunch of young players. They were awesome to watch and despite thrashing us they never lowered their game. A real credit to your club!”

Well done Pips!!

We just wanted to say a big congratulations to Becky Johns who successfully passed her level 1 coaching course.

Well done Becky from all at Applemore!
