MEMBERS of the Ballarat Bulldogs Football Netball Club will soon hold the club\u2019s first NetSetGo program in an effort to boost club numbers.<\/p>\n
The eight-week program, which will run weekly from Wednesday 7 February, is being geared towards children seven and 10 years old.<\/p>\n
Club secretary and football manager Lexie Hardman said the sessions are a fun way to introduce children to netball.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s to give local kids the opportunity to come down, learn some netball skills, and make friends,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe plan is to hopefully get them into the netball program now and hopefully they stick around the club so we can be bigger and better.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll have our netball coach Kelsey Shaw going through modified drills with the kids to have fun with.\u201d<\/p>\n
With 15 netball players currently with the club, Ms Hardman said their program has been steadily growing.<\/p>\n
\u201cEspecially in the last 12 months, our all-abilities players have gone from playing more or less one game a year to four or five and doing round robins in regional towns,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re hoping to grow with two home carnival games this year. Most of the time we enough netball players for two teams and they\u2019re aged anywhere from 14 to 40.\u201d<\/p>\n
Each NetSetGo session will run from 5pm to 6pm at Russell Square.<\/p>\n
Participants will need to register with Netball Victoria for a $100 fee, which includes a t-shirt and netball, to take part in the program.<\/p>\n
