The Netball season is over!
I am both happy and sad about this. I am happy because I can say farewell to those cold early Saturday mornings, standing on the side of the court chewing my fingernails down with nervous anticipation of the score, but then I am sad because I have grown very attached to my team. They have worked so hard this season and made a huge amount of progress.
Today was our final game for the year against Devon Intermediate in our yearly sport exchange. I am pleased that my girls were able to finish the season up with a win (23-12).
When we started the season some of the girls were sloppy in their passing, lazy in their fitness training and struggled to get along. They have come a long way, and I feel they have learnt just as much off the court as they have on the court. They play with integrity, heart and respect. They show good sportsmanship and set achievable goals to further their own progress. I wish I could continue on with these girls for another year, that is the downside of Intermediate. They come and go so quickly.
I look forward to seeing next years girls grow and learn more about themselves and the game, on and off the court.
