So, grab a drink, settle in, and let’s catch up one last time on all the thrilling updates that shaped our netball season!

LAST TRAINING SESSION💙

For our final training session of the season, we decided to honour our incredible coach, Claire, in a fun and light-hearted way by dressing up as her. This wasn’t just a quirky theme; it was a heartfelt tribute to the countless ways she has supported us as students and netball players.

From her unwavering encouragement and guidance to those invaluable tactical insights, she has truly been the "mom" of our club. Her commitment to our growth, both on and off the court, has shaped us into the players we are today. Whether it’s finishing a tough training session or navigating the challenges of student life, she’s always been our biggest cheerleader and source of wisdom.

As we donned our matching outfits, complete with her signature accessories (beanies, long coats and glasses), we shared laughs and reminisced about our favourite moments with her. The atmosphere was filled with joy and gratitude, celebrating not just her coaching skills but the incredible bond we’ve formed as a team under her mentorship.

This session reminded us all of the impact she’s had on our lives, cultivating not only better athletes but also stronger individuals. We can’t thank her enough for everything she’s done, and we hope she knows just how much we appreciate her!

Here’s to our amazing coach – thank you for being the heart of our club! We love you! 💙🏐
