It will start at 7 and will be at Blue Flames in one of the bar areas! There will be at least one further seminar, probably in February after the winter league has finished and half term passed.

Sportswoman of the Year AwardsThe Sunday Times are currently inviting votes for the Sportswomen of the Year Awards and one of the categories is ‘Team of the Year’. With another excellent Series win a few weeks ago, the 2013 record for England now reads 9 matches played, 9 wins.
To celebrate this incredible achievement, and hopefully more victories when we travel to South Africa later this month, we would please invite you all to vote for England as your team of the year and continue the remarkable success story. If you would like to show your support for the team, head over to this link and vote for England Netball! Anna Mayes targets world domination for England's netball team.
Young coach earmarks 2014 Commonwealth Games as first step for a sport that is thriving despite its lack of Olympic status.
When England's netball coach Anna Mayes was 16 she had one ambition. "I told my mum I wanted to coach England," laughs the 32-year-old. Two years ago Mayes was appointed to that very role, having already worked with the Under 21s, and her approach has yielded phenomenal results. In Mayes' first month England won the world series, and earlier this year her side whitewashed the world champions, Australia, in a 3-0 series win (previously England had only ever beaten Australia twice, in 1981 and in 2010). England remain unbeaten in 2013. Despite the fact that most of England's players work or study full-time Mayes, herself an autoethnography PhD student, leads a squad that is wholeheartedly professional in its outlook. Players such as the captain, Pamela Cookey, now fit in morning and evening training sessions around their day jobs, in Cookey's case a demanding role as a site services manager working for an aircraft manufacturer. From the outset the Swindon-born coach outlined an unwavering vision of where the sport should be heading. "I wanted to do something in English netball that had never been done before," she says now, "so in 2019 our mission statement is: we want to be world champions." Click Here to read more...

England Netball Rules
England Netball (EN) has produced this Guidance to supplement the INF Rules of Netball with some practical application of the Rules, which takes account of legal duties not to discriminate, the duty of care and our objective to establish a safe, fair and inspiring sporting environment that contributes to a high quality participant experience at all times.
This Guidance is provided for everyone involved in Netball including players, coaches and officials. Umpires and Officials must apply the Rules and this guidance is intended to help them apply the rules, in a way which takes account of what may at times seem like conflicting imperatives. They are designed from a common sense and inclusive stand point, and are underwritten by the aim to include as many people in playing netball as possible. This means that consideration may need to be borne in mind which may not be the same for all players, but which are necessary to ensure due regard is given to people’s particular needs, for example, those with particular medical conditions or with cultural needs.

NEW Division 2 – important changes to the rules
Please read these notes carefully as the rules which will apply to Division 2 next year are significantly different to the rules which you will have been used to playing to in previous years.
The key differences are:
The key differences are:
- Division 1 and 2 of the Winter League will operate a one player, one club rule. So if you play for a club in Division 1 you can’t play for a different club in Division 2. However, if you play for your Club’s B team in Division 2 you can still play up for the same Club’s A team in Division 1.
- For all your matches you must provide either a ‘B’ award umpire or a ‘C’ award umpire who is actively working toward her ‘B’ award and has had agreement from the Umpiring Secretary to umpire in Division 2. These umpires must submit a fitness test at the start of the season.
- For all your matches you must provide a scorer. If you do not provide a scorer a member of your team must drop out and take on this role! The scorer does not have to be qualified but obviously must understand how to score! The scorer should sit with the opposition scorer and check the score with the umpires at quarter time to ensure the centre pass is correct. This should mean there are no discrepancies! However if there is a discrepancy which cannot be resolved by the umpires, the scorers must agree the score to proceed with between them! The flip over scoreboards should also be used for Division 2 matches. These can be operated by a third person or by the scorers. The scoreboards are stored at reception and should be collected from there by one of the scorers for the 6.30 match and returned by a scorer from the 8.30 match.
Thinking of Changing your kit for the new season?
or does your garage resemble a Netball exhibition at Beamish! If so you can donate kit, bibs and equipment you no longer need to Northumbria University who will utilise it in their work on the IDEALS project in Africa. The county set an excellent example recently by donating a large collection of old junior county netball strips and bibs to the University. The kit has already winged its way out to Zambia and was very gratefully received.
