Another 6 week Junior Development Programme has been completed. 

Netball South Canterbury would like to thank Trust Aoraki for their continued support in delivering this programme to year 7 & 8 players. 

The girls basic skill levels have  increased and during the 6 weeks have learnt nutrition tips and stretching exercises as well as general netball skills. 

As seen in the photos, fun mixed with hard work is the winning combination.  Junior Convenor Steph Waud and Coaching Convenor Clare Smolinski once again co-ordinated and delivered the programme.

                                                                      Congratulations to all the girls who took part.

Fun Ferns will be underway at the Netball South Canty courts on Saturday mornings, starting 12 June – there will be 4 sessions before the holidays and 4 sessions once school resumes.

Times: 10-10.30 for 5 & 6 yr olds; 10.30-11.15 for 7 & 8 yr olds.  Meet on Trust Aoraki Court 8!

The Junior Representative Netball Programme started on Sunday at Ashburton with all three South Canterbury teams attending.

The Junior A team faced some tough opposition only winning one of their games against North Otago with some accurate shooting by Chantelle Walker being a highlight of this game.  South Canterbury started slowly against Mid-Canterbury with players showing their inexperience at this level but their confidence grew as the game went on and some good defensive work was played by Tayla Shearer, Kate Shaw and Georgia Greig.  Although all players battled hard all day against some physical competition they could not manage to score any more wins against Nelson, Marlborough, Selwyn and Christchurch.

The team is looking forward to meeting some of these teams again in two weeks time at the Timaru Tournament a lot more confident with team combinations improving.   

The Junior B team ended the day in 3^rd place and the Year 7 Junior Development team were successful in winning all of their games to win the C.Grade trophy.

Kelsi Patterson, Geraldine High A Premier player and trialist for the NZ Secondary Schools team this year, attended the Junior Development Programme last week to assist with coaching the squad alongside Programme Co-ordinators Steph Waud and Clare Smolinski.  There was a lot of laughter combined with hard drills and the girls all came away knowing they had had a training session! 

Thanks go to Trust Aoraki for assistance with funding the programme and Kelsi for imparting her knowledge to these year 7 & 8 girls.
