MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: FAYE HALL from The Phoenix Heat
Faye has been a real inspiration not
only in her dedication to Netball but in her creativity that has
presented Netball America with some invaluable opportunities. Faye is responsible for the Fabulous Netball America
public website redesign. The team worked hard over a period of 4
months to give the web site a fresh new look and the response has
been overwhelming.
Faye has also brought in donations of over
$2,000 to Netball America. Through Faye's contacts she was able to
secure advertisements for Netball America and the Phoenix Heat in 6 movie theaters in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe.
Also find Netball America on the
GoodSearch toolbar - again thanks to Faye. Anytime you perform an
internet search using this toolbar or make a purchase online a
donation goes to Netball America.
Her creativity has
been invaluable from designing of our t-shirts and posters to our
sponsorship documents. Faye, in our eyes you are priceless!
If you would like to nominate a team,
club or individual you believe deserves recognition please email us
at info@netballamerica.com.
All winners receive a gift from Netball America.

UMPIRING TIPS by Prue
Plummer-D'Amato
In 1996 Prue was awarded the All Australia
(AA) umpiring award, then the IFNA Umpires Award in 1998. The IFNA
Umpiring Award was endorsed in 2001.
Q2. Red Goal Attack leaves the court to
secure a better position. Blue Goal Defense remains on the court and
prevents Red Goal Attack from re-entering. Is this an infringement?
Q: ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO ANSWER?
A: Perhaps now would be a good time to sign up for one of the following
umpiring sessions:

West Coast Representative Trials on Februa  ry 27th

and Theory Testing on February 28th
Umpire Practical and Theory Review
