COVID-19 Update from Phoenix Club President Shelley Nelson
Good morning everyone,
Never in a million years did I think I would ever be making decisions and trying to support the children and families in my local community during a viral pandemic. And it is with a heavy heart today that I need to let you know that our netball season at Downey Park for 2020 has been cancelled. Below is a link to the latest update from Michelle Prado at DPNA for your information, please take the time to read it.
This doesn't mean there will be no netball this year. Phoenix will continue to work with DPNA and our local clubs to provide opportunities for netball this year, once the threat of the virus has passed and restrictions on sport and social gathering are no longer in place.
We will be looking at refunds for members and initiatives that can help keep members active at home during this period of social distancing. Keeping active will help us all with our physical and mental well-being and to cope with the stress on our families.
Starting today are the FREE Netball Australia NETFIT Clinics. Jump online to participate in the virtual clinics with some of Australia's elite netballers. If there are girls out there who don't have a netball and need one, please let me know.
We know that many families are going to face some really hard times, with business closures and unemployment happening all around us. I ask that during this time you all recognise the wonderful community we have at Phoenix netball - if you need help, let us know. Let's try and help one another.
Stay safe!
