SQUAD UPDATES

 HUGE Congratulations to our Under 11’s in their first season with SDNA. The players have learnt so much from coach Mel and enjoyed every second of the opportunity representing SDNA.

​

Thanks to all the parents for their commitment, time, new friendships and laughs!

​

Amazing memories.

All for the love of netball

Absolute legends!!!!!

 Last tournament for the year and ended it with a bang. What a great year it’s been with an amazing group of players. Go Springy!

 CASEY TOURNAMENT…15/1s playing in Reserve section - went in with only 7 players, one with an injury and another hurt herself during play (missing 2 mid courters, required big all round constant efforts / commitment to the ball)!

​

Started off strong, then only going down by 1 against top / undefeated side. Finishing with 3 losses / 2 wins and narrowly missing out on finals (by the smallest of %s).

​

Was very encouraging, hearing the cheering from other SDNA players and also having a 13s player jump on when we needed her xo

 

Special shout out to our coach MaryAnne / TM Michelle, as well as the other parents.

 AND THAT’S A WRAP…15/1s played in the 2022 SDNA Annual Representative Tournament today - their final for the season!

 

We again narrowly missed out on finals (on %), after a slow / shaky start. This year has truly had it all, we went in with a limited list and then lost players along the way. Most weeks we had to beg / borrow / steal players to fill-in and today was no exception (with two key players unavailable), luckily two players were kind enough to step up.

 

On behalf of the team, we would like to thank everyone that has helped us ensure our team could take the court. At the end of the day, it’s about participation and giving the players an opportunity to learn  / grow / have fun xo

 

We really appreciate all the effort / time / energy of our coach MaryAnne and TM Michelle, as well as the support/encouragement from the parents and committee.

 

Only two pics, cause I literally have hyperthermia and couldn’t feel my fingers (I’m sure I’m not far off frost bite). That wind was arctic.

 Casey Junior Super Tournament, what a day. SDNA was well represented in the 11s, 13s and 15s. The positivity and camaraderie shown today by all our players was soo good to watch, and be a part of. It's not often all our teams get the opportunity to play and represent SDNA at the same venue on the same day (and indoors). Cheering each team on from the sidelines. #sdnanetball #togetherwearestronger
