Netta Game

Great work girls,

I have started recieving comments on passer byers of how much our team have improved. So a big congrats to you all! We got it into the goal circle and had lots of shots today, which as far as I am concerned is really the idea of the game at this early stage. Any goals that they are able to get is really only a bonus. Unfortunately our girls havent had a Netball post that has been at the right height for them to practice on until a couple of weeks ago, so they are a little rusty on that skill, but as long as they are getting a go at shooting in the game thats what really matters!
The Pippies came up against a team today where most of the girls were 8yrs so they had a definate advantage over us but I think we held our own really well. The girls had some really good channels of play down the court and let go of the ball a lot better than in the past. They are all working hard on that skill!
Their defence continues to improve and we got a lot of intercepts and chased the loose balls really well. Kendyll continues to make lots of improvements too, I can see her being a really nice player in the future. Demi - Great shadow defending. I was so impressed when I saw her doing this so well, it was only last week that she started to 'understand' what infront means! We were calling it out to her all the time and she kept standing beside her player, we couldnt figure out why! Thats a great effort Demi.

Great work girls!

Ps - Marli - I didnt see you duck....... excellent!
