GDST Select Netball

Written by Beatrice Graham

I’m really happy that I got the opportunity to participate in the GDST netball trials It was a fantastic experience where I could test my netball skills against girls from the 25 other GDST schools Having not practiced a lot over lockdown, It was great to improve my skills in the time we had lost being off school. I learned a lot about how I can improve how I play in defense by practicing key interceptions, ball handling and footwork

The first round of trials were held in early September, where myself, Sephera and Gen had the chance to play against other netball players from GDST schools The second trial was towards the end of September, and the standard of playing was high and very competitive

I was very proud to hear that Gen got selected for the team, and I was chosen as a reserve We are both excited to work towards refining our skills
