Netball: More popular than ever!

With its fast-paced nature and emphasis on teamwork and communication, netball has become a favoured sport amongst Fairholme girls

Netball is a popular sport among girls at Fairholme College, and this year, we are excited to announce that we have 29 teams competing in the local netball competition, an increase from 27 teams last year.

This means we have about 280 girls from Year 2 to Year 12 participating in the sport.

A series of nomination days took place in early February, and a panel of three coaches evaluated the girls through a trialling process.

Co-ordinator of Sports Performance, Kirsten Murry, says the teams are carefully constructed, considering the age, grade, skill level, and previous experience of each player.

‘Our aim is to ensure that every girl has the opportunity to develop their skills and enjoy the sport, regardless of their ability.’

The first games of the season, a double-header, will take place on the first weekend of Term 2 (22 and 23 April), with no games on the Labour Day long weekend.

We are excited to see our teams compete this season and look forward to seeing the growth and development of our players as they work together to achieve their goals.

Go Fairholme!
