SAPSASA Netball
Bella Gates: Over three days during Week 6, I received the honour for the second year of playing SAPSASA Netball representing the Riverland in Adelaide. We played 9 games in total: 2 on Wednesday, 4 on Thursday and 3 on Friday. The best thing about last week was meeting new people and just getting on the court to play some netball. Unfortunately, we finished last on the leader board, but it was still a good experience. We all gave it a go and had heaps of fun. The positions I played: GK, GD, GS and GA. My personal favourite was GA throughout the carnival.
Tatam hunt: Last week, I got the chance to be a part of the Riverland SAPSASA Netball team with many amazing girls. Unfortunately, we didn’t win any games, but I met a heap of girls. In Adelaide, we played 2 games on Wednesday, 3 on Thursday and 4 on Friday. I loved playing C and WA against all the other teams. I made a bunch of new friends and had a great time with them. I loved playing netball in Adelaide. It was a great time. I was very excited when mum got a message from Renee saying I made the team.
Miley Mitchell: Last week, another couple of girls and I got the opportunity to take a trip down to Adelaide. We got to play nine games in total and lost every game. It was an excellent experience to get to know some new people and make new friends. I love the game and playing at a level like that. It was amazing. I felt like I got to learn so many new things. I can’t explain the feeling I got when I was told that I was in the team. I felt like I was a worldwide champion and that nothing could stop me. At the carnival, I played GA, GS and CD, which I don’t usually play. I would like to thank all the people that supported me in my netball.
Kind regards,
