Hello there!
To be completely transparent, we are a Netball club seeking sponsorship from businesses in order to assist us in delivering a holistic sporting experience for our Junior players, something we feel, has been lost over the last 10-15 years within the sporting arena as a whole. We, as the Coach’s and Committee of teamSTELLAR Netball Club, are seeking to change this, in our own way.
Below we will outline our story (quick) as well as our club ethos, and why we sought to create something different and more in line with what we had as kids growing up. If I have peaked your interest in any way, then you too have noticed the decline in good old fashion sports clubs where the kids enjoyment is paramount and are seeking in our own way, to help to change that.
My name is Shannon and I am part of the team that created Team Stellar Netball Club. In 2020, during the height of covid lockdown, when we had time to think, and process what was important in our lives, both for us and our children, we decided to create a Junior netball leg of our netball club and thus the inception of Team Stellar Netball Club was officially created and we became an incorporated not for profit entity.
This founding group, made up of 4 women who have played netball together since the inception of the very first women’s team in 2011, make up the foundations of what was, a 9 year build up from running social women’s teams, to creating the Junior & Senior Netball Club that is, Team Stellar Netball Club that we present to you today.
When, as a founding group, we asked ourselves, what was important to us when we were younger in relation to our netball or sporting club experiences? What made our experiences positive (or negative) growing up? We then set forward to create a list of what we’d like to achieve, and what we’d like to steer clear of.
teamSTELLAR Netball Club, is founded on the ethos of being a ‘part of the stellar family’, about being a part of something much bigger than yourself. It’s about going back to ’the good old days’ where a fulfilling and enjoyable grassroots experience is more important than the win. Where the kids can enjoy the game, without the pressure of being ‘the best’, and more about achieving and learning what ’their best’ means. Our hope is that all our players, will love the game so much they continue to play well into adulthood, and then share that passion with their own children.
At both trainings and games, we encourage and promote acceptance to all, and strive to install a sense of personal acceptance within themselves individually. We try and show them that these people around them are ’their tribe’, ’their people’, the people that just ‘get you’ no questions asked, they just accept and understand you for who you are.
Our aim is to create strong, independent thinking and accepting young people, who learn to rely and trust on themselves, on their choices, their instincts and their own judgements. To arm them with the tools required to enter the adult world confidentially and with integrity. Basing our coaching style and teachings on the core values of our club, we aim to coach with PASSION, whilst promoting FRIENDSHIP & UNITY within the group, and showing RESPECT to players, in order to receive respect.
All of this information you’ve just read was to firstly introduce ourselves to you and also to seek potential sponsorship from yourself or business in order to enable us to more easily move forward on our quest to mould and shape the young people without our club into amazing human beings, a future more brighter than yesterday.
As a club, we also commit to a number of social media shout outs both on our club page, and we encourage all our members to share that post amongst their own friends list, to ensure maximum coverage for our sponsors.
If our club ethos resonates with you and aligns with yourself, and you would be interested in partnering with our netball club we would love to welcome you into our ’Stellar family’.
Thank you for your time and congrats for making it to the bottom! I really do appreciate it.
Kind Regards
Shannon Wilson
Secretary
