PLC Netball Club

This year marks a major milestone for the Club. At the 2017 Annual General Meeting, the membership charged the Committee with the development of a sustainable netball club that catered for girls of all ages and all abilities. To achieve this goal, the PLC Netball Club aimed to field teams in all age groups and all divisions. I am very excited to share that this mission has been accomplished!

On Saturday the Club held its trials day. From a pool of 89 girls, 10 teams were selected – four open teams and six junior teams (U12 and below). The skills and endeavour displayed by the girls was outstanding. Their performance has convinced the Club that it should enter a team in the open Division 1 competition. This is the first time PLC Netball Club has been able to do so and means that the Club is represented in ages groups from Division 1 to U8 within the Caloundra District Netball Association. A special thank you to the selection panel, the parents for the support shown to the girls and the players who impressed us with their skills.

Naturally with every trial day, there are highs and lows as the teams are announced. With 90 available positions and 89 girls trialling, the selection panel had an extremely difficult task. The maturity and understanding of the selection process and the acceptance of the ‘umpires’ decision was a real credit to the girls.

Team training commenced this week in preparation for the start of the season on 16^th March. If we continue as we have started, 2019 will be an enjoyable and successful year for the Club.
