Competition starts early at Warrandyte Netball Club, with girls as young as seven playing bottom-age Under-11s. And the cold and sometimes foggy conditions at nine o’clock on Saturday mornings do nothing to dampen their enthusiasm.
U11/1 Warrandyte Wrens
Warrandyte have four Under-11 teams in an age group which is generally short of numbers. The Doncaster and District Netball Association have only three sections at this level, which means Warrandyte players are sometimes drawn against their clubmates.
U11/2 Warrandyte Possums
The Under-11/1 and 2 teams contain players with a few seasons’ experience and that shows out in their ever-developing skill levels.
U11/3 Warrandyte Joeys
When girls are in their first season a goal can be the source of great excitement because it might be the only one of the game.
U11/4 Warrandyte Gliders
Any girl interested in playing Under-11s for Warrandyte is invited to contact Lesley. Some netball or netball skills clinic experience is preferred and the club reminds parents that the skills clinic for five to nine-year-olds, held locally after school on Fridays, still has vacancies.
Inquiries to Peta.
This month we look at the Under-11s through the eyes of their coaches.
