After the double header on sunday the Stockholm Netball Club will be ready to escort everyone interested to GIH (Gymnastik och idrottshögskolan, near Stadion) where the first ever open day will be held. Kids are more than welcome to the open day as sunday is the start for junior netball in Sweden.
For those of you not familiar with netball it is a social, fun and safe sport derived from basketball.

It had been a long road for Södermalm to get to this year’s Curling Championship with the lineup constantly changing but finally last Tuesday the boys in blue hit the ice. Jordo created an upset early on by breaking up the triumphant trio from last year’s championship.That stone, reducing a 5 point loss to only 1 point. The Merrymen managed to stay in the game.

The annual Club Ice fishing was held again in the last weekend of february! It drew a strong attendance on the back of the successful ice fishing trip the previous year.

Some gold medals from the days fishing are as follows:-)
Pre-season training will take place at KTH-hallen the four Sundays in March, starting on the 7th. We have booked 2 hours between 14 and 16 and due to generous sponsorship from the club it will only cost 20 kr/player. We will focus on fitness by playing innebandy and basketball, and perhaps some hand-ball drills. As the club is putting money towards this make sure you do your best at attending. Plus Coach Jordan doesn’t like slackers. Bring indoor shoes and clothes, and an innebandy stick if you have one. There will be extra sticks for those who want to borrow. Facilities include change rooms with showers and sauna.
To get to KTH-hallen take the red line to Tekniska Högskolan then walk for 5 minutes according to the map.
The membership fees for 2010 are due. Prices are the same as last year.
Full membership: 700 kr
Full membership (student/unemployed): 500 kr
