To our Adelaide Thunderbirds family,
As the nature and impact of the coronavirus continues to evolve at a rapid pace, I wanted to touch base with you all about how Netball SA is adapting in such unchartered waters.
In my 30 years in the industry, I’ve never seen anything quite like this and, just like you, we are all closely monitoring the situation to help ensure the wellbeing of our netball community.
Three months in, 2020 is already looking vastly different to how we imagined and considering how rapidly the situation is changing, it is likely we will have to adapt as the situation continues to evolve.
We are working closely with Netball Australia, guided by government advice, to ensure the health of our players, staff and broader netball family are at the forefront of every decision we make.
The Adelaide Thunderbirds and Netball SA websites and socials media channels will continue to provide informative content to keep you up to date.
As expected, many of you have already contacted us with questions and we will endeavour to respond as promptly as possible, keeping in mind how quickly the situation is changing by the hour.
I also wanted to take this opportunity to remind the community that it is recommended players avoid shaking hands at the end of games.
Our sport has always upheld strong sportsmanship, but under such unique circumstances, it is okay to display your gratitude verbally.
With so much uncertainty about what the future holds, we are currently working through the nature of our upcoming events and will do everything we can to provide you with the latest information as soon as it comes to hand.
I want to thank you for your patience and understanding at this time. Your ongoing loyalty and passion is what makes our sport so resilient.
Please stay safe and look out for each other.
Cheers,
Bronny
