Reflection on netball


Know matter which country you live in, sport is a universal language. After moving back to Australia I worried over how I would fit back into sport when all the teams had already been chosen. I love netball and it is my favourite sport so I wanted to get onto the team so badly. I turned up to netball trials and was warmly welcomed by the passionate players. Unfortunately the year 9 team had already been filled but then an opportunity arouse when I was asked to join the year 10 team. I was excited but also nervous about how the other year 10’s would react to a year 9 playing with them. I never thought that the girls would be so nice and accepting. The first couple of training sessions I was probably seen as shy and quiet as I was anxious about what they were thinking of me. Now I can easily laugh and joke around with them on court and off. Hopefully next year I will be able to play with the same enjoyable team which I now call my friends. I would definitely recommend to any person out there unsure about whether or not they should sign up for netball that they should do it. I have made many new friends and learnt skills which can benefit me with many other things in my life.
