Pippies Netta

Another Saturday has gone and with it more games of Netta. I have a daughter playing her first year of Netta and this week was her 5th game. When the team first started they didnt have any idea of what they were doing! We stood them on the court and that is pretty much were they stayed! All they were thinking about was where they were aloud to be!! The other team ran rings around them...... Oh well. Things are slowly changing, they eventually got their first goal last week, so we took them to McDonalds for a special treat.
All the girls are having a really great time and have just started to 'get' the game ( at last us parents are saying!) Its funny, my little one has been at the side of the court since she was 6 weeks old and up until now she really has had no idea.. BUT she made 2 beautiful intersepts this week, and as proud and chuffed as I am, I would have to say that one of these intersepts would easily have been the best on court.
All the kids have worked really hard on 'shadowing' defence and you could really tell. Congratulations to everyone for the great defence on the court.
Also a big congratulations goes to their coach, she has put in alot of time and effort so far with the preparation for training sessions and the games but also the extra 'small' things. She always has a little reward for the girls at the end of the games and training as well as little trophies for most improved and player of the week. You can see in the kids faces how much they appreciate all of these little encouragements! Good work Coach ( I havent said her name as she doesnt know that I have written this.)
