The season is well and truly underway with a number of things happening.
Planning for the season was greatly impacted by the timing of the court redevelopment and subsequent availability of courts. At worst we only have 8 courts during construction so game times have been adjusted hence you have seen a few empty courts. As construction gets underway this will change. The Board decided to set times for divisions from the start so we wouldn't have to keep changing them and confusing people.
Redevelopment construction starts in the velodrome from Monday 8 April. First stage is primarily for upgraded drainage and construction of temporary grass courts. I plan to record and upload a video log of redevelopment progress to a YouTude channel - search for Caboolture Netball.
Cost to the association for redevelopment is $115000. There will be additional cost for seating later on.
