I read November Teenage and came across one interesting and inspiring page of NETBALL! I shall quote some phrases from it and share it with you girls.
Netball is a game that isn't just about natural talent, it's also about skills, techniques, maturity and mental strengths. It's not easy playing a game that literally requires you to think on your feet because you only have three seconds to think where and who you can pass the ball to. It also takes a lot of discipline...
...The most generic skill one should have is the ability to catch and pass. If you're a shooter, your percentages have to be high. You also need to able to shoot under pressure. If you play centre (C) or wing attack (WA), you'll need to have good spatial ability, scanning the court quickly for spaces to pass the ball. As for defenders, it's important to be very fit and "sticky". It helps too, if you're slightly taller or have the ability to jump high.
Most parts are true. So everyone, let's work our butts off this coming 3 months. Make our passes perfect, reduce the number of drop balls, communicate and encouraging one another! Rmb, we left less than 3 months to train. Let's treasure every training and do some fitness yourself. But don't do it just for the sake of doing but for the sake that you want to improve yourself and contribute to the team. Jia you and take care!
It's all in the mind...
Extra training for B girls will start from next week.
It will be in the morning, 7.45am - 11.15am. (may end earlier or later)
Dates will be confirmed later.
But it is on either Tuesday or Thursday since we have trainings on other days. (Please tag which day you prefer and/or whether do you want to train before our normal trainings. Also, state whether you want self-trainings on alternate weeks or every weeks during this holidays)
&these are our self trainings so there will be no consent form or newsletter.
Remember to check netball blog regularly for any updates.
Thanks everyone,
Candice.
