Club Sport

Pacific Lutheran College has several sports development programs outside of school hours. These programs encourage participation, giving students the opportunity to be part of a team and learn basic skills of the game.

The parent-led Pacific FC Soccer and PLC Netball Clubs compete on Saturdays in community competitions throughout the Sunshine Coast.

PLC Netball Club

Last Saturday saw all teams back in action for the final 6 standard rounds of the season before the Semi-Finals commence on 26^th August. There were smiling faces everywhere as our players enjoyed being back on the court! 

All it takes is one game of netball to make you realise how fit you need to be to play. Netball is a sport where you’re constantly moving, jumping, twisting and turning. In addition to improving your stamina, working on your fitness will reduce the risk of injuring yourself. Here are a couple of netball drills that will help improve fitness and you can do at home.

Two Steps Forward One Step Back Drill:

•          Place 5-6 cones 3-5 meters apart

•          Accelerate and sprint the length of 2 cones then back 1 cone, for example, runs to the third cone then back to the second. Then run from the second to the fourth then back to the third. Then to the fifth then back one, then they repeat. This drill is great for working on acceleration, footwork and speed.

Lateral Cone Jumping Drill (a great netball exercise to improve cardio while also working the muscles needed for jumping):

•          Fast explosive jumps over a low obstacle (Obstacle could be a ball, cone, or even a shoe etc)

•          Perform 3 x 8 reps

Please remember: all players must sign the game sheet prior to taking the court. Any substitute players must be listed below the registered players for the team, with the division and team name they are registered in next to their name and signature. Incorrect completion of the game sheet will result in loss of points. Please also ensure players arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start of their games so that they can participate in the team warm-up, fill water bottles, and sign the game sheet.

Please check Netball Connect or with your team Manager or Coach regarding the time and venue for your games over the next few weeks.

We wish all teams Good Luck in the run to the finals!!
