NEWSLETTER
Presidents Message
The start of 2015 has been a brilliant one! With our new and very much needed developments to expand our
netball facilities. The upgrade to include 10 hard courts, a new clubhouse, canteen, toilets and showers. Please find
a copy of the plans on our website.
We are very grateful to Cairns Regional Council and the QLD State Government for their support. This new facility
will allow Cairns Netball to bid to host the 2017 State Country Carnival and also provide a training facility for teams
to train at for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Not to mention a long overdue facility for our wonderful members,
and volunteers. We are also thankful to past committee members and volunteers for their hard work throughout the
last 6 years to obtain this upgrade.
Lastly we thank our wonderful sponsors who have supported Cairns Netball over the last 4 years. In particular we
would like to thank our Major Sponsor Avanti Plus and Halpin Partners for their continued support.
This year has commenced with a bang, following our annual sign on day and exhibition match, which was highly
successful and was enjoyed by all. This year we have increased our competition by 18 teams from 2014. We have
120 teams in the competition in 2015.
We also have had a Foundation Coaching course where 19 coaches have now obtained their accreditation. We
also had 46 junior umpires attend the Cairns Netball Junior Umpire Course. A big thank you to Elaine Scott and
Darrien Kumar for presenting this course to our youngsters. Cairns Netball has growing enthusiasm with our young
umpires seeing at least 60 junior umpires in our Umpires pool. Elaine Scott your hard work does not go unnoticed
and we appreciate it.
Finally our Proarch Prodiatry Pythons Rep Squads have been training hard over the last few months since
selections in November. We have 89 members in our Proarch Prodiatry Pythons Squad. Thank you to our
Volunteer Representative Coaches, Mangers, selectors and Umpires for your commitment over the last 4 months
and also for the next 5 months. Also thank you to Sharon Finnan, Elisa Robarti, Winnie Whatley and Kelly
Hynes for their expert coaching sessions which all players, coaches and spectators thoroughly enjoyed. Cairns
Representative Teams have been selected and more details on the teams in the Representative Pythons Pit.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the annual Halpin Partners March Past on the 5th May.
Kind Regards

Proarch Podiatry
Netball is an extremely fast paced game that places a lot of stress on the feet, ankles and knees. Not only does netball involve
sudden stopping and starting, but it also involves a lot of pivoting movements, and then just to make things more stressful on
the lower limbs, you are required to combine all these movements after leaping in the air and landing on one foot. It’s amazing
to watch.
Because of these movements, injuries are quite prevalent, and I recently read that Netball is ranked seventh in injuries requiring
a visit to a hospital emergency department. This is quite a high ranking when you consider the number of contact sports played
in Australia.
However, this netball article is not about treating injuries once they have occurred, it’s about avoiding injury and minimising the
predisposing factors that can lead to injury, so let’s get started.
For simplicity there are three basic foot types a normal foot, an excessively pronated foot (flat foot) and an excessively
supinated foot (high arched foot). If you have normal feet, you’re one of the lucky ones, because if you have flat or high arched
feet you will be more prone to injury. Your increase risk of injury occurs because of poor foot function and foot structure.
Podiatrists at Proarch Podiatry are highly trained foot professionals, and can easily identify your foot type, so if you know
you have flat feet, or excessively high arched feet, which is contributing to certain symptoms, give us a call and make an
appointment Cairns (07) 4033 2218.
Whether you’re walking or running, or leaping through the air to catch a ball and landing on one foot, there are certain
movements that your foot must go through, movements that Podiatrists class as normal, however with flat and high arched
feet these normal movements cannot occur or they occur at the wrong time, therefore predisposing the foot and lower limb to
injury. If you’re asking yourself, “what foot type do I have”, then you’re not alone and this is why seeing a Podiatrist is important.
Controlling abnormal foot movement, while allowing normal foot movement to occur is the key to injury prevention and this
can only be achieved by wearing custom made orthotics (foot supports). An orthotic is a specialised in-shoe device that is only
made by Podiatrists, and when combined with correct footwear is one of the best
preventative measures you can take.
Even though injuries from falls and collisions are common and are often unavoidable,
sprains and strains to the foot and lower limbs can be minimised with good preparation,
a good level of match fitness, proper warm up and cool down exercises, correct
footwear, strapping and most importantly a visit to Proarch Podiatry.
Call today for an appointment.
