PLC Netball Club

The weekend is the first of three visits by CDNA to Pacific this year. These events provide Pacific with an opportunity to showcase the College, its facilities and most importantly, our community spirit.

There were no games over the Labour Day long weekend, so this week also provides an opportunity to showcase our Club Co-Captains Amie Hague (Year 9) and Ella Ousley (Year 10). Both girls were selected via a formal application process that evaluated their contributions to the Club and their leadership credentials. At the end of this process the Committee was unable to separate the applications and it was decided that the Club would have Co-Captains for 2019.

Amie captained and was awarded the spirit award for the PLC Arabians last year, has been umpiring since 2017 and is participating in the Duke of Edinburgh program. Ella has been umpiring since 2017, has coached our U7 team for the last two years and plays in our ladies’ team, the PLC Appaloosas. 

The role of the Club Captain is to foster community spirit within the U7 to U12 teams by being a positive role model for the younger girls. The position also entitles the girls to be members of the PLC Netball Club Committee. In addition to their formal roles, the girls attend junior team training sessions, join the teams during their warm-up sessions before their Saturday games and mentor our junior players. These are roles and responsibilities seldom entrusted to girls of their age in the modern world and it is with pride that we watch them rise to the challenge.
