Netball

Miya is playing netball this winter season.  This is at Netball North Harbour on Wednesday evenings.

After much effort, and a couple of seasons without getting enough players to make a homeschool (HASCA) team at Miya's age, we have finally managed to get 8 girls together to play.

Miya is delighted!

The main downside is that this is a Year 6 team, and Miya is only Year 4.  So, Miya is playing against children two years older than her.  It's pretty tough going for her, but she is used to being the youngest in our family activities so it's not too much of a big deal for her to be the youngest on the court.

Most of the girls in the team have not played before, and many of them are still coming to grips with the basics of where to go and what to do.  But they are all improving heaps, and they all look like they are having lots of fun.

The team have already played six games this season.  These are all grading games.  So far they have won two and lost four.  It is looking likely that they will be in around about Grade 7 (of 10).  The competition games will start in a few weeks.

(Mulan is not playing netball this year, as we didn't get enough players to make up a team at her age.  I guess in a couple of years she will join the Saturday morning college competition.)
