Auckland Netball




At the start of this year there was a message on the notices about all the girls who would like to represent our school for netball and go up to Auckland every Tuesday and compete against loads of different school from all Auckland.

There were round 120 girls who signed up at first and that had to be cut down to 10. The first cut that was made, was if you were at a lower grade from Saturday netball then you probably wouldn't get a chance to trial. 120 girls got cut down to 30, period 1 and 2 in week 6 the 30 girls got together and had a hard trial with the coach Donelle and from that 10 girls were picked.

I was lucky enough to be one of the girls that got chosen for the squad and after we got in the team and the names were finalized and then we got told that this was also going to be the aims team that would go down to Tauraunga to compete in a big netball tournament!

I would like to say thanks to Mrs Pearson and Donelle for giving up their time to help us kids with the skills and co-ordination we need to be top netballers!
